No. I didn't have an opinion how to fix it (make both pieces of code use identity or equality), and I was a bit afraid to touch the internals in case I broke something. And it was easy to work around in my code, so I just chickened out :( > Is it because it is > hard that you accepted the Won't fix ? Or because of lack of time ? The wontfix is for the obsolete monolithic zope3 package. The bug is still open against zope.component. Although it may need to be fixed in the internals of the adapter registry which lives, I think, in zope.interface?

No. In order to change from non-persistent to persistent, you need to activate and dirty all objects that have references to your nonpersistent object; it's not enough to change just the object itself.
