yes, this is a bit more clear to me now.

(cough) why didn't I think about it???

I did not have the time to do so. I still stick to Zope-2.1.6 for now,
and I was afraid of the issues with transaction commit order. and the
motto is 'if it ain't break, don't fix it'. I have a contract to upgrade
the product in august though. I will look at it at that time.
