AFAICS we are close to a new beta, but not close enough to get all 
things done this week:


1.) there are some showstoppers in GenericSetup:

-> see the separate replies


2.) the migration code for CMFDefault sites is insufficient:

Upgrading from CMF 2.0 should work fine, but the migration code for CMF 
2.1 beta sites is incomplete: There is a hack in 
PortalObjectBase.getSiteManager that fixes old site manager instances on 
the fly, but I don't want to have that code in the final CMF 2.1 
release. There is also no code for unregistering the tools that are no 
longer utilities. No volunteers so far.


3.) we have no roadmap for getting rid of non-utility tools:

Today I want to re-register portal_discussions - with a small 
modification it should work as utility. After that I'll forward port the 
latest changes to CMF trunk.

I have some ideas for a roadmap, but that'll be the subject of different 
mail within the next days. That roadmap could include some changes (like 
renamings, deprecation warnings) for CMF 2.1.


Cheers,
