why is it difficult to have a stable product? if you write python 
products and not zclasses there is no reason for a product to become 
"unstable".

just as a data point, i have written python products for zope for years 
now and i do not recall ever having to apply patches just to make 
something compatible with a newer version of zope. i write patches or 
even rewrite products to take advantage of new things in newer zope 
releases. that's it.
