  We do have an external users, that can be activated only for a part of a site to give temporary access to some locally defined users, that works with local acl_users within the same site.

  Those users are not global. Usually Silva sites are very large site, and not managed by one person, but by couple of them. They manages theirs external users independently through the Silva UI, where they want, without paying attention to what the other guy did.

  We can  as well create multiple Silva root within the ZODB, but like Plone, but people don't do it that much.

  This is not a big issue for me, as I can change my code to adapt to the situation, but I think it is a major change in how Zope works, and that might be a blocking point for some people when they will want to upgrade. That might fragmentize the Zope 2 user group.

  That's an idea, but you will have 'to restart' to apply the changes.
