When we started using Zope sessions, we experienced a set
of session problems. I started fixing them, but it turned out
that the implementation was very ambitious, too ambitious to
get it safe. I, therefore, switched plans and implemented
an alternative "Transience" module -- much simpler and less ambitious.
We use it since then in a medium load production
environment and did not see any more problems.

I asked my boss whether I can release this implementation
as "Open Source". He said "sure".

I still have to hash out a few organisational questions but
I expect the module will be available within 2 weeks.
