Well, I don't agree with this assessment for Zope 3.  We needed
the freedom to work oput new ideas and patterns.  Trying to use existing code
would have been a huge distraction. I think that the result proves that we
were right.  The beauty of our approach is that, having built what we've
built, we'll be able to take advantage of that code in the current platform.
