There's the backward-compatibility issue, which is a showstopper. There's plenty of code that does this:
adapter = package.interfaces.IFoo(object, None)
Changing the signature as you describe would break all code that does this.
How about a new major revision of zope.interface then?
I fear that would be a bit drastic -- for a mostly cosmetic change. But interfaces might grow an additional method, e.g. "adapt", which could get the new signature. The syntax would be a bit more cumbersome -- but on the other hand, it would be more explicit :-) -- Dieter
