What exactly has zope done for Python?
Nothing. The measurement of python's increased penetration as a
result of zope can be expressed simply as 'zilch'.

To suggest that the success of PHP relies on its ability
to accommodate apps like midgard is like saying the
success of html is directly dependent on, gulp, Dreamweaver.

There's tons of stuff out there that can mimic midgard,
opensource and otherwise. None of them require the
level of integration midgard currently enjoys. At best,
Midgard belongs in PEAR. It most definitely, IMHO, does not
belong in the PHP source.
