Sorry, I may've gotten my history mixed up a little here, but in any case, I think the point remains: no-one's said (nor not said) that PAS is to be deprecated in favour of PAU in a Zope 2/CMF/Plone context at least. So I don't think you missed that. ;-)
Thanks for the clarification.
However, while not wanting to extend this debate any more than necessary, I'm still wondering if *my* point remains valid in the broader "zope x" context:
Is PAS still alive and preferred for Zope3? Or more generally, is there any reasonable strategy for sticking with PAS in Zope2 while also keeping the door open to Zope3? I hope so - but I fear that for fairly obscure reasons Zope2 and Zope3 have diverged in this specific area, in a way that isn't in the long term interests of people investing in Zope technologies...
Zope3 has never supported PAS and I doubt it ever well. Zope2 has never supported PAU and the Zope2 world in general seems to be quiet happy with sticking to PAS. Since Zope3 is not a successor to Zope2 but a completely different thing I do not think this is problematic.
