My personal opinion: I'd rather see the interface-based solution in a  
few weeks or a couple months (the next Zope release) than the, umh,  
less-than-professional solution that will stick around forever. As  
such solutions have a tendency to do. "It works now" absolves everyone  
from the task to come back later and improve the solution, so no one  
does.
