Yes. >> - you may have some draft files in your tree that are not ready for use >> and never referenced anywhere, but a scan will still process them. > > This is true. I ran into this with .html.py files generated by Chameleon as well. My Zope startup has lots of these: /Users/wichert/Library/eggs/zope.configuration-3.6.0-py2.6.egg/zope/configuration/config.py:605: UserWarning: File 'sessions.pt.pyc' has an unrecognized extension in directory '/Users/wichert/Work/syslab/euphorie/Develop/trunk/buildout/src/Euphorie/euphorie/client/templates' >> - scanning can take a long time, making application (re)start slow for >> non-trivial projects > > At what point is an application not trivial anymore?

A missing zcml include for meta.zcml of plone.directives.form, while it's configure.zcml was included correctly.
