Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.

   Zope is gonig more and more to unix-like security mechanisms (owner,
setuid, etc). In UNIX, if you untar an archive, who owns the files? You! In
Zope, the owner will be that person who did import. Just so simple.
(Actually, I knows nothing about Zope 2.2; but I know UNIX, so I made the
conclusion :)
