I think you are taking my words entirely out of context.

I won't be telling Plone users anything. And anyone with an existing Plone  
2.5 or earlier site has a more problems than CMF 2.3 compatibility, which  
the last I heard was not intended anyway. I've recently struggled with a  
Plone 3 to Plone 4 migration and would not wish the same on anyone else.

There are lots of good reasons for having only one website per Data.fs /  
Zope instance.

The CMF (has to) treats its users as adults. While Yuppie has described  
that he uses that setup he also pointed out the possible pitfalls of doing  
so. Given the recent discussion I do think it would be a good idea to make  
this policy with a note that other setups may work but will not be  
supported.
