<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found a thread (from March 2006) discussing
the future of zclasses, but i could not determine if a 'final' decision had been
made.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>According to Changes.txt for Zope
2.10.0:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"ZClasses are deprecated and should no longer be
used. In addition any code related to the ZClasses (re)distribution mechanism is
removed."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does this mean that any application which
incorporates zclasses will break if upgraded to zope 2.10.x?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reason i ask is that i have a huge legacy
system (zope 2.6) that is about to be upgraded to a more current version of
zope, and i am wondering if this is the time to replace the zclass utilization
(a seriously non-trivial task!).</FONT></DIV>
