That means replacing the persistent local registries by a global
registry, right?
I'm not in favor of that, at least not without more discussion. I *am*
in favor of replacing any import-time or 'initialize'-time registrations
which touch module globals with ZCML.
Well. Right now there are no global step registrations, so there is
nothing that can be simply replaced by ZCML.
The persistent steps registered within a site's profiles *can't* be done
via startup-time setup: they reflect state which may be *important*,
even if a module doesn't import at a given startup.
In the initial version of CMFSetup import_steps.xml and export_steps.xml
did summarize the contents of the profile. Each step represented a part
of the profile.
That concept is broken since extension profiles were added. Extension
profiles re-use registrations made by other profiles, exports mix steps
from different profiles. The step registries just represent a set of
available handlers, not the configuration of the site.
So what's the important state information that might get lost if we
remove the persistent steps?
Cheers,
Yuppie
