You (Zope developers) are very fast in declaring things dead and destroy things application developers have build upon. I see myself rather as an application developer and conclude that Zope may no longer be adequate to build large applications on top of it -- applications that need to live and be maintained for many years to come. I am unconcerned with Zope 3 in particular, because I have not been an early adopter. But, I see the same behaviour also with Zope 2 and its features.... -- Dieter
