[ZODB-Dev] SpatialIndex

[Leonardo Santagada]

Although I think this sounds like an optimal solution, I think it isn't necessary. I wish only that there was a "complements" in ZODB wiki with a simple list of best of breed package for each task and maybe a list of alternatives. To make it even better a good "deprecated" section would be good so you don't need to look at old packages trying to figure out if they are the new thing that is not on the wiki or the so-old-that-no-one-uses thing. This would be a great start.
