Agreed in principle.

Note that it apparently is something related to the tests of 
grokcore.view - hopefully this means reverting is a) not too difficult 
and b) does not have too many repercussions for projects already using 
1.0a3.

As been noted earlier in this thread, we can easily let the buildout 
process report, by way of an extension, any packages that were not 
specifically pinned down in the versions.cfg.

I propose using this buildout extension and set the "rule" that 
everything that gets pulled in, should also be listed in the 
versions.cfg, preferably based on the the KGS we choose for the grok 
"line of developement" at that moment. Anything that falls outside of 
the KGS needs to be discussed on the list. Would that work?


I'll try to revert grokcore.view and release it.
