Re: [Zope-dev] Replaceable types?

Secondly, can someone give me an example of a Replaceable object?

Any object that doesn't represent a service-kind-of-thing. The term "replaceable" is used in the context of acquisition. Making things non-replaceable is a way of providing a particular service (say, a MailHost), and ensuring that this service will not be inadvertantly shadowed by something else (a DMTL Method perhaps) in a higher-up folder. The concept of "replaceable" isn't needed in Zope 3, as services are kept separate from content. -- Steve Alexander
