Is this a kafkanian situation? Are really core developers asking the community to kick a used Zope's feature, saying it's because it's hard to maintain it, and simultaneously to say it's code 'unmaintained and untouched since ages'? Folks, you didn't need to ask for the aproval of people who didn't make it with that feature. You just do it. You're the ones that create the knots and know for sure where they are, and if you aren't in the mood anymore just give the thing over. :) As of your remarks, Andreas, I understand your point. People who care should take over. Sounds fair. Just please don't mean that we who say yes to a Jim's question are guilty of not letting Zope to move on, because Zope is moving to X3, not to 2.X+five, and definitely not to Archetypes, a CMF subject. As for ZC, IMHO the issue should be treated as a matter of understanding the market rather than achieving a milestone. You created stuff that works in some way or another that people embraced. You also changed your company name to the name of the product of yours that people embraced. And no matter how much hype there is on new trends, you should realize that a song is just a song until the market say it's a hit, and that X3 is that song. Shall you start to put Zope2 into pieces before getting to know you already have a hit? :) Ausum ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andreas Jung" <lists@andreas-jung.com> To: <jake@zopezone.com>; "Dieter Maurer" <dieter@handshake.de> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 11:59 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Does anyone care whether we deprecate ZClasses?
