Yeah, I forgot about that one :). Steve's patch does make LM start up 
correctly in 2.4, and I guess it also means that at least Steve is 
using it successfully. I wasn't really thinking about the problem 
that Steve's version fixes, though. In 2.3, security checks for 
objects owned by a user that is defined in an LM user folder are 
broken, which caused me a lot of trouble. I'm just not looking 
forward to finding out what new problems LM got in 2.4. If anyone 
tells me there aren't any, I'd be very glad.

It's what used to be my biggest pet peeve. It comes from using 
sequence_xxx aliases in dtml-in loops (using a patched DT_In.py), 
which ZC refused to incorporate into Zope, instead implementing the 
prefix="..." feature. So all dtml-in loops, in all my projects, are 
going to break in 2.4.
