I didn't mean to be disrespectful or to imply that I'm not grateful 
to the people making these fixes. I'm always grateful for all the 
work everyone at Zope Corp are doing. And any fix to an old problem 
is good, no matter when it comes.

I just think that when problems that are very easy to fix get dragged 
forever, and continue to inconvenience people for no good reason, 
then this is certainly a corporate/culture problem. If opening the 
CVS helps to change this, I'm for one will be very happy to have less 
things to complain about, and I'm sure other people would be happy 
about that ;-)
