OK.  I do think we need to have some resistance to the "Zope2 is evil,
Zope3 is wonderful" fundamentalism which sometimes shows up around here.
 Frankly, Zope3 *is* a cool library, but it does not address a number of
the scenarios Zope2 does, and maybe never will.

I'll note that five views are already required to be acquisition wrapped
if they use any objects protected by Zope2 security machinery.

I don't know of such a distinction.  Please explain how one registers a
"subscription adapter".
