[Zope] Local Roles and Acquisition

[nwingfield at che-llp.com]

Understood.  I'm using a specialized user folder product solely for this
application, however.  I am not actually rewriting Zope, just this custom
user folder product.  Ultimately I may absorb the whole thing into my own
product.

You just created a maintenance nightmare, that's why. Rewriting the
core Zope software instead of e.g. creating a filesystem product that
contains your changes will make every attempted Zope upgrade a pain.
