Hi Derek,

It should be fine to delete the RPCAuth object.  In fact, this should 
really be done automatically in the migration step that gets called by 
the QI tool (or is it GS these days?).  I don't suppose you'd be able to 
add such a step to 
<http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/Quills/trunk/migrations/quills15to16.py>, 
would you?  It would be a great help if you could :).

While I'm thinking about this, strictly speaking just removing the 
RPCAuth object is probably not quite sufficient.  You should probably 
also do the equivalent of what RPCAuth.manage_beforeDelete does (as this 
will obviously not get called when the RPCAuth product/code is absent). 
  See <http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/RPCAuth/trunk/RPCAuth.py> 
for details.

Cheers,


Tim
