I was one of the people who kept dotted names support in favor of api consistency with tg1 + the fact that I liked to deploy applications in zipped eggs. But after working for a time on the subject I see all the problems, extra work and maintenance and I begin to shift my position on the subject :) If people really want dotted names support they should say so here, because I was the main artisan in their support and I am mainly for there removal. That said, the change won't be brutal and if we remove them it will be with deprecation warnings and in a future version. In fact the dotted names support is a problem with Mako (which is a templating language I don't use myself) and supporting the dotted names pattern for this templating engine has already eaten too much of my time and energy while I wanted to concentrate on other things. I feel that because of that I had to introduce too many specific config variables and that this will just complicate the config files and augment the number of questions because people will always ask about them. One of the issues is that the config options are set to some default for safety reason (no reloading by default), but clearly some people will want other settings. All this to say I have something itching me here but I am not yet decided on what we should really do. One problem that I perceive though is that we officially recommend Genshi and propose our quickstart with it (which is fine by me) but we are mainly spending time to support Mako... Maybe the best thing would be that someone who actually uses Mako proposes a mako quickstart _and_ actively supports it, anyone interested?
