Lots of the rest of the folks interested in servers don't have those requirements (yet, anyway), and hence aren't motivated to address them in their externally-maintained server implmentations. What is *worse* than maintaining our own server is trying to track development on somebody else's, where their goals don't match ours. I'm guessing that the amount of effort required to "maintain" the Zope2 server per month is less than the aggregate time spent by the community reading this thread. ;) > Perhaps you are thinking of the buffering requirement.
