While I think there is definitely scope for simplifying the mix of
competing skin concepts in the Zope/CMF/Plone space, we need to be
careful not to bite off more than we can chew. We still have a lot of
CMF skin scripts and templates in Plone that I don't want to become a
blocker for adopting Zope 4. This should be the first of several
releases that progressively rationalise our software stack, lets not
try and do it all at once.
