Well. That's right but doesn't help us much. We don't have a volunteer 
for implementing that new feature. And we don't have a consensus what 
the default policy should be.

Why should I make it configurable? I volunteer to fix a serious bug by 
restoring behavior we had until 6 months ago. An INameChooser based 
configurable solution would be much more work than just fixing the bug.

You deleted the sentence in which I said what's different IMHO:

So it's more urgent to fix the bug in CMF than in Zope.
