After reading the thread you mention, which isn't all that clear
when it comes to outlining what the consequences of some of these
code changes are, I'm confused. I think I can boil it down to one
question: What is the use of the CMF 1.6 branch if it is not
compatible to Plone 2.1/2.1.1 and 2.1.2 when it comes out, and
possibly not even 2.2 since that's only a few months down the road?
I don't quite understand the distinction between "compatible with
products written for Plone 2.1 but not with Plone 2.1", I can't
see any sense in that route... it all comes back to one question:
What is the goal for the 1.6 branch? What specific audience is it
targeted at? I can see what it's apparently *not* targeted at:
People who work with Plone 2.1 - including those that might be
interested in taking up GenericSetup for their Plone product. I
had thought that was our audience.
AFAICT the original target audience were people that want to switch
to Plone 2.2 and reuse Products written for 2.1.
That might have changed over time, but the code never reflected
that change.
Unless someone fixes that CMFDynamicsomethingFTI thing (or the CMF
1.6 branch) people cannot even attempt to run Plone 2.1 or 2.2
against CMF 1.6. This is like a stalemate. Can you suggest how to add
a new kind of factory information class similar to appending it to
that typeClasses structure so Martin can fix the Plone code for
whatever release they want to make CMF 1.6-compatible then?
