You know my position concerning the repository and the release; I'd prefer them to be kept as similar as possible to simplify the release process. I hope we can go in that direction. It also makes things more predictable to developers. We noticed that some Zope 3 packages weren't packaged into Zope 2 after the release, even though in a developer's sandbox of Zope 2 they were there.
Right. If eggs work out, then a respository check out will be a lot smaller, but will download needed eggs. This would be a replacement of the use of externals we have now.
Oh, this will make development so much more tedious. Let's say zope.testbrowser is an egg and I discover a bug in zope.textbrowser while doing some other Zope 3 development, I have to check out zope.testbrowser, fix the bug, check it in, download the new egg and hope it fixed my Zope 3 problem. Honestly this is far too much and I will at most make a bug report. I have seen you take a similar approach to zope.testing and I found that painful just by watching the checkins. I feel like an old record, but please let's keep the development process as simple as possible. I rather make some concessions to the packaging and dependency system than spending more time developing.
