there is a world of difference between shipping with and requiring...is this language really what happened? I thought the decision was to ship with a site.zcml and package-includes directory in their conventional place, not changing Five's behavior to look for it's skeleton if it didn't find the aforementioned. -w Tres Seaver wrote:

This is a BBB foul. The appropriate way to make such a change is to add a deprecation warning, leaveing the "old" behavior (which was to use the 'site.zcml' from inside Five) in place.

Making "forward compatibility" smoother is *less* important than preserving "backward compatibility".
