Yep, and these aren't generally objects that need to be changed  
frequently in the FS.

It's good to know that they will still work with Python 2.5. My own  
introduction to Zope was heavily dependent upon combining  
PythonScripts and PageTemplates and I'm currently seconded to a .NET  
based CMS which has something remarkably similar: they are a very  
useful way of encapsulating site-specific behaviour so it would be  
nice to have them around in one form or other if the associated issues  
(security, global validity, etc. can be resolved) otherwise some  
bright spark's bound to reinvent them!

You are, of course, right that this wouldn't be a CMF only issue but I  
think that it's something we should be thinking of once we have a  
complete set of "experimental" browser views. <looks appropriately  
guilty/>

Façade imports are where classes and modules are populated through a  
package's __init__.py or module?
