Why did not ZEA came up with such arguments against the ZF *much earlier*?
The ZF proposal is out since some weeks. There was meanwhile an IRC chat 
with Rob,  a lengthy discussion on the mailing list and Rob spoke at 
Europython. I can not remember having heard any objections from ZEA against 
this proposal. I have not heard any public statements of Paul Everitt at 
Europython during the ZF presentation *against* the ZF.

Speaking as independent developer - neither representing the interests of 
ZC nor of ZEA - I find these behind-the-curtain negotiations extremely 
counterproductive from the community point of view and definitely not in 
the sense of the Zope community.
