Note that I'm not actually proposing that we merge this branch any time soon: it is a bit of a straw man for the ongoing process conversation.
Why not? It looks that it's just a dependency cleanup, so it can be merged (and released!) really soon (if noone objects, of course). I personally don't like long-living branches and forks.
Well, part of the dependency cleanup involves making a possibly- controversial coding style change ("from imports"),
Will it cause any problems in packages that use existing zope.component with its current coding style? If not, then why can it be a problem?
and I may have broken something in the 'compattests'.
Well, that certainly needs to be tested, but I don't think it's a blocker for merging. We're on the development version anyway. :-) (however, of course if would be nicer to do compattests before merging, but this should'nt take much time?)
I would also like to make 'setup.py test' actually work in the absence of buildout.
Isn't this as easy as adding the contents of "test" extra to the "test_requires" parameter? -- WBR, Dan Korostelev
