I removed the externals so they are not in the b1 tarball. Possibly
a bug from the deprecation point of view. On the other side it is hard 
enough now to keep track of the "right" version and dealing with the 
different versions. The KGS is a good start and I wrote a small script
keeping the Zope 2 svn:externals in sync (mostly) with the KGS. However I 
need some additional metadata in order to know what deprecates when in 
order for having a half-way automated mechanism for updating the externals. 
I can not depend on the informal information coming from mailing lists and 
private mail becomes the huge amount of externals becomes unmanageable. The 
idea would be to extend the KGS or maintain a database/file that contains 
for every component its deprecation release (and perhaps other metadata 
needed).


Thoughts?
