Sorry, I naively thought it was Just Another Storage, albeit Much
Better. ;-) I see now that ZODB is just one use for the object mapping
functionality.  Wow!  I've never been a big fan of Object-Relational
mapping per se, but this project is bigger than that!  In fact, it
might even be useful for an idea I've had for a few days, which I'll
articulate in another email.

(You know you can truncate CVS links like so, makes it nicer for
email.)

Thanks for that.  I was wondering where it was documented, and the
best I could find was (as usual) a couple of Wiki pages
(RepositoryOrganization) which completely avoid discussing the
repolinks, which are very confusing for someone browsing CVS.  ("Huh?
ZODB here, here, here *and* here?  What the?  Oh, look, same checkin
messages, they must be symlinked somehow but bugger if I can find out
how or why.")

I've decided to wait for 2.7 and chrism-install-branch to be merged
into HEAD before I try and manage a production Zope/ZEO SOE.  It's the
sanity I've been looking for.  That, and DBTab.  ;-)
