[Souheil CHELFOUH]

Christian,

I hear you and understand you.
I'm not advertizing for an immediate and brainless action.
What I did this week end is simply to split the PAU from all the
components provided with it (well, most of it).
That was motivated by my current work and by the will to see the
dependencies become cleaner and the code shorter.
I understand that the momentum is not everything, but when I can
dedicate myself to a task, be motivated by it and paid for it, then, I
don't see any reasons to hold back ;-)
In this case, I'll just wait for your feedbacks, zope devs, and we'll
take the time (obviously) to do the things correctly.

Let me know what you guys think, about what has to be done, when you can
