[Zope] Versions...

[Chris McDonough]

Versions are problematic in combination with mounted storages in
particular because there is no link in versioning between storages.  You
can easily create a versioned object in one storage, then traverse to
another part of the instance space that's been mounted and use that
version cookie to make a change.  But you need to commit the two
versions separately.  If you commit one of them, you'll be left
scratching your head as to why the other storage didn't commit.

I'd say in this particular that it's perhaps a limitation of mounted
storages rather than versions.
