Viewification

There is also the goldegg-folder_contents branch which contains a quick 
'n' dirty folder_contents view. I can try to port it to the 
tseaver-viewification branch.

As long as we don't have a solution for the local skin customization I'd 
not like to see the views enabled by default. What about keeping the old 
skins as default for 2.0? People who want to use the views instead can 
easily enable them using ZCML.


GenericSetup

I believe it was the Right Thing to split responsibilities for content 
setup and configuration setup. This way we were able to move faster 
forward. But the downside is that we implemented similar tasks in 
different ways. Don't know if trying to share more code is worth the effort.

At least we should find a solution for the minimal site structure 
currently set up by CMFDefault.setuphandlers.importVarious. I tried to 
use the content handler for that, but that adds the complete site 
content to a snapshot. Any ideas how to resolve this? I'd really like to 
get rid of importVarious.


Required Zope Version

+1 for dropping Zope 2.8 support
