A few more points: Security --------
The current AccessControl security model has served us well. While some simplification may be possible by dropping unused legacy features, no major changes to functionality should be expected. Porting to Python 3 will be the obvious time to make any simplifications. The ZODB -------- While it is unfamiliar to new developers, building on top of ZODB is hugely beneficial to Plone. Semi-structured content management data just doesn't map well to relational databases. That said, by reducing our expectations on content types, it should become easier for add ons to integrate relational database backed content into Plone. Portlets and Viewlets --------------------- Portlets and viewlets are powerful concepts but they have proved a difficult stumbling block for new developers. The Deco project is working increased layout flexibility for content editors. It also makes it much easier to create dynamic page fragments in the form of 'tiles'. These will replace portlets and most current uses of viewlets.
