[Zope-dev] Re: Zope 2.7: OrderSupport for ObjectManager

I'll have to chime in since I saw something that's a bad assumption.

This is a *really* bad assumption; for several projects I've
monkey-patched folder to support ordering in custom CMS projects;  the
order of _objects is important to these folks.  I appologize for chiming
in so late in the game, but if requirements are being driven by that
assumption, it's not a safe one IMNSHO.
