That is unfortunate example of obviously bad deprecation. Deprecation

Still feels like there's too much fo it happening in the Zope 3 world.
I refuse to believe that all the Zope 3 developers are that bad that
they get it wrong in ways which need deprecating so often ;-)
I think there are many things that we didn't get right the first time,
or even the second time. Jim always says that when you don't really
understand things, you tend to overengineer them. I think that's what
happened a lot of the times. Zope 3 was pioneer land and we needed time
to understand how it works best.
Nearly all of the large refactorings that Zope 3 had in the last couple
of years were major simplifications, such as a flatter package
structure, an easier Component Architecture, an easier local Component
Architecture, a simpler approach to skinning, etc. I think if the API
conservatism gets too high, we'll end up with something like Zope 2
again and its unmanageable constructs like the one you presented earlier
in this thread. We'll need to find the right balance.
