  I use it whenever I need a relational database when I'm doing Python
work and determine that the overhead of installing a more complete RDMBS
(where 'complete' mostly only includes speed issues). Specifically, I've
developed several applications including a 'library' for DVDs (which should
one day be extended to other items like books etc.)

  Hell yes.


> 3. Was the fact that it was included important to you?

  It's real comforting to know that it's there.


> 4. Do you believe we should continue to include Gadfly in Zope?

  Yep! It would be _really_ nice if you guys could figure out in the DA
code somewhere if gadfly is already installed (and is of a useful version)
so that I don't have to maintain two gadfly installations. Similarly it
would be nice to have kjbuckets in there too (again defaulting to the
standard lib tree if it's there)


> 5. Do you believe we should move Gadfly to an add-on distribution?

  Nope!
