Great. I hope you'll forgive the skepticism, it's just that the a lot of the people talking about doing this merge haven't actually checked anything into Zope 2 in a pretty long time, and commit frequency is typically a good indicator (maybe the only indicator) of who might continue to maintain the codebase in the future. > > It appears there is an assumption that merging Z2 and Z3 code within Z2 > > itself is an unmitigated good thing, but IMHO, each is complicated > > enough in their own right that I'd personally prefer to be dealing with > > one or the other at any given time and not both.

That's clear. I'm glad you've committed to maintaining it. - C _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
