Huh? Since when does a software package that builds on top of a core 
framework define contracts to be fulfilled by the core framework? 
Excuse me while I chuckle.

First of all, the issue really belongs on zope-cmf at zope.org. That's 
where CMF issues are discussed. Second of all, if you had taken a look 
at the current CMF-1_5-branch and HEAD in CVS you would have noticed 
it's already in there. After someone filed a collector issue a while 
ago and asked for it.

What happens on the unsupported and obsolete CMF-1_4-branch, to which 
Plone still clings, is at this point up to the hardy souls from the 
Plone community who have stepped forward to maintain it.
