I don't know - I've never had a problem with the ordering the way it is now. I 
just have this niggling feeling that people think it'll be better whereas 
it'll probably not make much difference at all. Except potentially pissing 
off a bunch of existing users.

ZPT has been used in delivered systems now. If those systems are to ever 
receive a Zope upgrade (for a critical security or bug fix) then all 
templates in those delivered systems will have to be checked and possibly 
repaired too.

As has been mentioned, this isn't the first time this has come up. People 
didn't feel strongly enough to warrant changing it the first time around, and 
I haven't seen a convincing argument this time around.
