The C extension is required to make messageids immutable. Because they are immutable, the security machinery can treat them as rocks, e.g. safe to pass around. Removing the C-extension undoes this, as you cannot make truely immutable. See the original proposal: http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/TurningMessageIDsIntoRocks I'm sure Phillip and Jim can clarify the security implications of undoing this work. -- Martijn Pieters _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
