Can anyone else confirm or deny???
If true, it needs to be much more widely publicized!
$ cd /usr/src/Zope-2.6.1-src/lib/python/Products/
$ find . -name "*py" -exec grep -H "except:" {} \; | wc -l
170
well, this is all stuff that comes with Zope, hopefully
they have been vetted... but then there's all these
3rd-party products:
$ cd $INSTANCE_HOME/Products
$ find . -name "*py" -exec grep -H "except:" {} \; | wc -l
133
Great, so there's at least 133 things to examine to see if they
could catch a ConflictError. And I only wrote about 15 of those.
The rest could be very time-consuming to audit.
