This is largely an Amos question.

Amos, why do the cookies at Zope.org not contain all the login
information, set to expire long into the future?  This is the way most
sites work.  If you choose to set a cookie, you'll never need to log in
again.

I imagine that we should provide some knobs to let portal owners choose
different policies, but I think the default should be like other sites.

(FYI, Amos and I have had this conversation on the phone before, we just
need to have it in public.)
