how severe is the problem that you have fixed? According to some

2.7.3 with the risk of causing trouble with broken applications or
can we defer the fix to Zope 2.8?

-1.

I have yet to get a reproducible test case (one which breaks on 2.7-head
but works on 2.7.2) from the examples folks have supplied.  The bug which
I was fixing is a security issue, reported against CMF, but also
affecting Zope:  http://zope.org/Collectors/CMF/259

Given that the change was required to implement a security fix, and
without a reproducible test case for the reported breakage, I don't think
we can credit the rumors.  We *definitely* don't want to defer the
security fix.

I will ask Jim to review this with me today.


I am not against the patch...I just need to know what the state of this issue is and what its
implications are for the final 2.7.3 release :-)
