You didn't mention if this would have any impact on existing products.
The expectation is that existing Zope 2 products will work with 2.8. The security APIs will be unchanged.
In case that was the case, would porting the zcml machinery and the security policy from zope3 completely out of question?
We want Zope 2.8 to happen as soon as possible, so we can start working on Zope 2.9. Zope 2.9 will be the release that incorprates major parts of Zope 3. We think that NSEC and ZODB 3.3 provide more than enough of a change for one release. :)
This is something I would really love to see in zope2.
Me too. We need to get 2.7 and 2.8 out the door as soon as we can so we can get working on 2.9. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
