I can see this being a genuine concern. That's the first I've seen (it's a good one).
Further from this, I think diversifying the language base to Python/Perl/XSLT/etc is bad. It means that for someone to be 'proficient in Zope' form a marketing or job hunting point of view, they also have to know Perl, XSLT, etc rather than just Python and DTML. It defocuses Zope from what it is. I can read and write Perl if I have to, but I don't want to... it's bad enough just trying o keep up with the stuff being done in Python, adding Perl to that will make it nigh on impossible... Chris
