That seems unnecessarily derogatory. :-)  But I know where you are  
coming from.

As the author, I'd say  "more low level than most people want".  The  
low-level interface--the index--is precisely what I needed for the  
projects for which it was developed.

The containers in the relationship package were experiments at a more  
friendly wrapper.  Other friendly wrappers that constrain the  
capabilities in exchange for the greater ease of use found in  
packages like the zc.schooltool code have been threatened by others.   
That would be great.

Meanwhile, I am as sure as I can be without having used it myself  
that the zc.schooltool relationship package is easier to use for  
common use cases.  If you need something more flexible, you may want  
to look at the zc.relationship index.
