That's true.

I've used persistent modules with ZODB4 and ZEO, outside of Zope3.
The goal was a persistent-modules based version of an existing little 
server application.

It was a test-case for investigating the possibility of faster 
development times and lower (or zero!) downtime of the server.

Luckyly server speed was not an iussue ;-)

No problems...

The boss was impressed, but the development is now stopped waiting for 
'major fixes'.

The worst problems were related whith the persistent import framework 
(broken with packages... I had to adapt it only for 2.3 cvs) and some 
misterious behaviours during class patches...

I'll be happy to rewrite the test-server with your new framework, and 
test it!
