Hi there. The "exclude" directive provided by zc.configuration package is easy to use and straightforward. I think it's used almost in every zope-based application setup. Its implementation is very small and fits great in zope.configuration's standard directives. So I'd like to propose to move it to zope.configuration and make it always available for ZMCL files, just like the "include" directive, so people would'nt need to install extra package and include an extra "meta.zcml" file before being able to use it. If noone objects, I'd like to do that and make the "exclude" directive from zc.configuration point to the zope.configuration's implementation making the original place deprecated (however I guess the whole zc.configuration package should't be deprecated as it's intended to be a common place for configuration extensions, even if it has only one directive now). Jim, if you're fine with that, can you please give me rights for zc.configuration on PYPI, my user name is "nadako". -- WBR, Dan Korostelev
