Please don't call this a "hotfix". That term is reserved for products
that fix important bugs (especially security bugs) in Zope.
A product can dynamically patch things, using the same mechanism as a
Hotfix. However, use of this mechanism does not qualify a product as a
Hotfix.
The terms "monkeypatch" and "dynamic patch" have been used to describe
this mechanism. Please use one of these in preference to "Hotfix".
