Yes, it is related (and my fault).  CVS doesn't handle "remove"
operations as I expected while on a branch;  the removal of the
'CMFDefault.Discussions' module wasn't supposed to be on the "trunk"
of CVS, but CVS did it there anyway.  I will check in the full fix
this afternoon, as I have heard no problems with the patched
dogbowl site.

I didn't realize that CMFOptions (Jeff Sasmor's product) relies on
that module;  I *am* planning still to remove it, and therefore would
like to ask Jeff to apply this patch::

Neither module actually *needs* to import Discussable, as that
symbol is not used.

BTW, Jeff, I notice that you are packaging CMFOptions to be
expanded under 'lib/python/Products', which makes using it under
INSTANCE_HOME harder than it needs to be.  See Chris McDonough's
"product guidelines",
   http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/FinishedProductGuidelines
for details (the gist is that the tarball should expand to 'CMFOptions',
rather than 'lib/python/Products/CMFOptions').
