I am in the process of convincing my management to convert to Zope for
several of our internal tracking applications. The lack of source control is
the number one barrier to my progress. As Dylan pointed out, it's not merely
about backup and versioning. It's about tracking and accountability for
changes to the system.

I am considering investing the considerable time and effort to integrate CVS
version control into Zope. I am very interested in knowing if anyone else is
considering or already working on such a product.

I would also like to encourage more discussion about source control, as I
also see this as a sizeable barrier to some people's acceptance of Zope.
