[Zope-dev] Re: death to index_html; ObjectManager?

[Casey Duncan]

Well I honestly hadn't considered that. So, I suppose changing to to a 
mix-in inherited by folder is better.

However, you should know that the crux of this change is really to the 
publisher, the mixin is just the management piece. *any* object can 
define a browser_default hook that overrides 'index_html', not just 
objectmanagers.
