Many of us use bbcollections to keep any OE changes in a completely
separate OE tree and don't modify the dev tree.  The components in the
custom tree are given higher priority and in effect replace the
components in the dev tree.  This works very well for the case where
you are working on a project and have quite a bit of custom
development that will never get pushed into dev.  This is far from
ideal, but is the best solution I've found.
