The main problem is that the advertised API says you should do: from plone.registry import Record from plone.registry import field registry['foo.bar'] = Record(field.TextLine(), u"my value") Here, field.TextLine derives from PersistentField which derives from Persistent, and Record derives from Persistent also. If I wanted to get rid of the Persistent base, I'd have to make a new "tree" of field types (the standard zope.schema ones still need some subclassing), and a new Record class with a less obvious name.
