I'd agree with that. They will lose their carts after the session time out, but at least that's a constant. I have a couple of questions about the proposed implementation: should the session data container be configured with an explicit pkg_id so that we can control its settings just for the shop and not any other use of sessions? should timeout and resolution be configurable through the web? we should also create an upgrade step that: 1) calls register_session_data_utility( self ) from the Install.py so people don't have to do a full product reinstall to update the session management 2) identifies unusable carts in the _sessions persistent storage and removes them since these will still cause problems. If this is the direction people want to head, I'd be quite keen to see this in action in the next few weeks.
