[Zope-dev] Five and browser-oriented components

[Malthe Borch]

On Z2, certain imports need to come from Products.Five, to play nicely 
with ZPublisher and friends.

I'd like to ask for the motivation for not patching it onto the existing 
classes and/or modules. The effect of having Z2-developers import from 
Products.Five is that they must opt out on packages that make use of 
templates, browser views, formlib, ... --- and it adds needless complexity.

This split might also have prompted the Plone community to walk their 
own way to the extend that there isn't much code reuse outside of the 
core Zope packages (along with egg dependencies, but with our fake eggs, 
we're almost up to par here).
