hi!
when i read about an undeletable top-level "acl_users" in a recent post a question came to my mind again:
why isn't it possible to delete the top-level dtml-methods standard_error_message, standard_html_footer and standard_html_header in zope 1.10?
i get the message "standard_html_header cannot be deleted" ...
Zope is generaly displeased when you try to delete these top level objects. The protection against deleting them is hardwired into Zope. This is unlikely to change. The top level user folder however, can be deleted (in 2.0 and the latest CVS). This can be a Bad Thing (tm) if you don't have access to the superuser password, because due to Acquisition and the design of the authentication system, the entire site is locked out! Only the superuser, at that point, can get in to add a new user folder at the top level (and thus return the system to normality). -Michel
