Indeed, and as someone who has real live production code that does 
exactly this kind of thing, I'm a big -1 for these changes.

I'm also about -sys.maxint on these changes for Zope 2.12 as I'd like to 
see 2.12 out the door as soon as possible.

For me, a true buildout-compatible release wins over all else. I really 
think we should aim for nothing more in terms of features before 2.12 is 
out...

cheers,

Chris
