Ah, I had forgotten about that. It would be great to merge the mountpoint
work into the head. There isn't a 2.9 branch afaik.

Yup. :)

I don't think so.  Nov 1 is less than 2 weeks away.  I think
we need to be realistic.

I would definately want to review this before it got merged
into the head.  I think Tim might too.  I don't think it's
ready for my review yet.  Anyway, if you want to make this
a priority, I'm willing to make time for review as best I can.
If you want to try to finish this before Nov 1, I'll try to help
by doing timely reviews.

Note that this will be of limited usefulness without also
updating Zope file implementations (z2 and z3) to take
advantage of it, although people could build add-on
packages that used it.

Well, I dunno, if it's not ready, June is not that far away.
I'm confident that we could get this done by the May 1
feature freeze if this was a priority.
