And this just baffles me. You're penalising a product for being "too 
stable", how bizare is that?! TinyTablePlus has done it's job just fine 
for many a zope version without needing any changes. That's the only 
reason why it looks so old. It's still maintained in that I would fix it 
  if there were actually any problems...

The fact that in the face of contrary evidence you stick with an 
incorrect decision makes me a little nervous ;-)

Indeed, but it's the way the whole issue was handled that makes me 
nervous...

cheers,

Chris
