Have you thougth of making this a Hotfix instead of patch ?
Please don't call this a "hotfix". That term is reserved for products that fix important bugs (especially security bugs) in Zope.
A product can dynamically patch things, using the same mechanism as a Hotfix. However, use of this mechanism does not qualify a product as a Hotfix.
The terms "monkeypatch" and "dynamic patch" have been used to describe this mechanism. Please use one of these in preference to "Hotfix".
Perhaps you could tell me if I have to use the App.Hotfixes interface or not when doing such a not-Hotfix thing. Thanks in advance. Jerome Alet
