No, but if you look at how, for instance, exUserFolder you can have a single
table called properties that you can use to store info (one row per user and
property/data snippet). It would also be possible to use this set up build
hierarchies of properties. These can very simply be translated to
dictionaries.

hehe... I think they are not stupid at all. I agree with you that it is very
hard to find information on how to use zope in a Very Large Scale scenario.
So I think they are not stupid at all - IMHO, they just haven't been
adressed properly previously.

I am very interested in what you will be able to conclude since I have
similar concerns (with about 1/10 of your user base :-)
