Actually, you highlighted the wrong bit, the important bit is:
BECAUSE WE KEEP CHANGING STUFF
This is really the central point (or, at least, IMO, the most important
point) in this thread.
I'm glad at least one other person seems to feel that way ;-)
Zope 3 was declared ready for production because
people were using it in production,
A mistake perhaps?
But then, when does something become production otherwise?
I think the temptation to keep polishing would be too strong...
People who used Zope 3 should have been made aware of these issues.
Maybe there weren't.
They were, but there are benefits to Zope 3 ;-)
the messages, but we certainly tried to be informative. We've also
tried very hard to be backward compatible.
bzzt.. nope, backwards compatible for a period of time, which is NOT
backwards compatability in my mind. I can still use 8.3 filenames in
Windows XP if I really want. That's backwards compatability and is about
the only thing MS ever did right...
I do think the rate of change needs to decrease and I'm pretty confident
it will. The local-registration changes in 3.3 are the biggest
remaining API/Architectural change I'm aware of.
Yay! I can only hope. It would certainly help Zope 3 become a much more
easily adoptable framework imho.
I think that the biggest change ahead will be in redoing the packaging to:
- be egg friendly, if not egg-centric,
But that should change anything w.r.t. actual use, right?
This will lead to many things moving out of zope.app.
Yay! More breakage :-/
I think in the future, we should resist minor api tweaks just to improve
spelling slightly.
