Re: [Zope-dev] SVN: z3c.form/trunk/ ``GroupForm`` and ``Group`` now use ``getContent`` method when instantiating group classes instead of directly accessing ``self.context``, as this is the usual way to access the context of the form and allows nested groups to have a different context than the main form.

My understand of ``getContent`` is to provide a way to give values used by the widgets. By default, since the common use case is to edit / display values from the context, the implementation return the context.
I see it differently. So I'd like to ask what was the original intention of ``getContent``? Anyone here to answer this question?
Originally we only supported the context to be modified. We later found this far too limiting as a form should be able to modify any sort of objects within a context or not caring about the context at all.
"getContent()" can return anything it wants to as long as a data manager can map the fields to it. So I think Laurent is correct.
Okay, then I'll revert my changes and make a new release.
