Re: [Zope-dev] [Zope 2.12] Eggification of Zope 2 - pros and cons?

... Chris favors a 'big' Zope egg with some dependencies (like ZODB) stripped out. I would prefer a more broader approach. One of the reasons are company-internals modifications to the Zope core. Right now we maintain a more or less heavy modified version of Zope 2.8 in our repos (making Zope upgrades pretty hard). A better modularization would help us here.

I object that upgrades are "pretty hard" and I doubt that modularization would help in any way: Upgrades are hard only when local modifications and global ones interfere. This does not happen too often and how often it happens is independent from the modularization. -- Dieter
