I'm sorry if I caused offense; I am very, very happy that you decided 
this was worth your time, and I think it will be a very important 
stepping stone in making CMF 2.1+ better and easier to integrate with.

I didn't realise we would fully deprecate getToolByName() quite yet, 
though. I must admit I haven't been following your checkins, for lack of 
time (and since you're surely more qualified than me in this work in any 
case).

However, surely, if we agree that it's premature to do so, commenting 
out the line that sends a DeprecationWarning won't be much of a change?
