[Zope-CMF] Anyone interested in getActionsFor for portal_workflow?

[Jeffrey P Shell]

So why not write a minimalist ActionsTool replacement for your 
app?  I do this all the time (more than I probably should).

In any case, look at the ActionsTool interface in 
CMFCore/interfaces/portal_actions.py.  You could probably write an 
actions tool that did *nothing* for the 'xxxActionProvider' 
methods, and write 'listFilteredActionsFor(object)' to communicate 
only with the workflow tool.  Such a class would be very small.

In my opinion, it's better to stay within the interfaces and 
interactions defined by the CMF than to do a one-off patch around 
them.
