I'll bite: are ZClasses officially among the fallen now? Even though I can
write Python products, I still find ZClasses useful for knocking out quick
"news item", "calendar item", etc. kind of objects.

And DTML is hardly out-of-date, either. Still needed to general
ZSQLMethods and for non-HTML-like output.

(BTW, the 2.5 version of Zope book talks about ZPT; the Developer book
talks about Unit Testing.)

Would be nice to have a book really get into CMF, rather than just the
one-chapter handwave.
