You seem to believe that the failure of Zope Corp to expend a major effort that yields NO improvement to their product so that you can be bothered to give their product away somehow makes a very useful package undesirable. The only upstream problem that I see here is that the python developers keep breaking compatibility with previous versions. Quite frankly, if python weren't such a great development tool in other respects, that would probably be enough to get most developers to tell them to bugger off. > > I guess in the end it boils down to are we doing a distro for developers only, > > or for normal (not minding to be on the cutting edge) users too? > > It boils down to are we trying to do a distro or are we just publishing > a package magma with no lifecycle or internal consistency.
