If you are writing your own cataloging and uncataloging
code, then I think that it could be.

I realize that Squishdot is a Python product, of course. As
far as the information being old, it's tested. I just used
it to build a new application this week. No bugs.

I realize that Squishdot already inherits from ZCatalog, I
was asking why Posting objects shouldn't inherit from
CatalogAware? I don't think that only ZClasses can inherit
from CatalogAware, that doesn't seem quite right.

Again, it's certainly possible that I'm overlooking
something.
