Yeah.

In the end the handling of a request/response and the notion of publishing is on of the core parts of our web frameworks. For a long time we had relative stability in that area, with ZPublisher and zope.publisher being the only two options. Today there's repoze.zope2, repoze.bfg, bobo, the zope.pipeline proposal all trying to improve in that area. But these are technology innovations only usable in their respective frameworks. Unless you want to work on improving the publishing story yourself, you can largely ignore these debates and stick with whatever each tool gives you. Nobody can tell if we are going to diverge further or if ideas will converge again at some point. > tres has often referred to the ironic chinese curse, "may you live in > interesting > times" - these are interesting times, indeed, for a web application > developer. Yes, they are. Zope has switched from being one or two major projects into a whole landscape of different options going in all kinds of different directions at lots of different levels. You have to evaluate these tools independently and see how each one does for the job you have in mind.
