I agree that something had been left unresolved, but it's a bit odd if  
an issue languishes in the collector for a long time and then all of a  
sudden several people come along and say it's a big deal. It can't be  
such a big deal if there were no complaints in a long time.

Anyway, it appears Andreas' interface additions, even though they may  
not be the final solution, pointed us there. Someone can amend that  
interface to everyones' linking and we have it in the next Zope  
releases. After that, it's a matter of adding adapter code to GS.
