[Zope-dev] Re: SVN: Products.Five/trunk/ Five now requires site.zcml to live in /etc

[whit]

there is a world of difference between shipping with and requiring...is 
this language really what happened?

I thought the decision was to  ship with a site.zcml and 
package-includes directory in their conventional place, not changing 
Five's behavior to look for it's skeleton if it didn't find the 
aforementioned.
