[Zope-CMF] dev question on CMFDefault.__init__.py

[Florent Guillaume]

As one datapoint, the main body of __init__ is called at module
initialization, which is very early. initialize() is called by Product
initialization, which is done later by Zope.

But I don't know the precise details of ZClasses initialization (and
frankly the less I hear about ZClasses, the happier I am).
