Poor. 1 Zope developer, 1 Zope version, 1000 Zope developers, 1000 Zope 
versions?

If I know where the problem is I report it to fix the bug

Why 2 ways?:
    1.- Official one doesn't work
    2.- Unofficial one who needs some duplicated dependency (OFolder 
seem very similar to Ordered folder don't you thing?)

If I can't maintain my system clear and simple I change my application 
server: easy

Perhaps but *your product doesn't work properly* any diference if you 
was a brake system producer (here I'm talking with the keyword index 
original developer)

Anyway (I see I can't do anything to change your way of life)

Another question for the main Zope developers group

Did you plan to make some make-up to simplify Zope?

In my opinion Zope has at least one competitive advantage: the fresh 
concept about objects but these kind of advantage is lost when the code 
grows and grows

Thanks

PD: I don't want to create controversy. I'm developing some code and the 
*MAIN* feature is **MINIMUM**
