>From my occasional forays into the Zope3 code, it seems that there is
a lot of code that was written quickly with the intent to come back to
it later and clean it up.  I'm worried that after we do an alpha
release all this code that was meant to be refactored will be have to
be maintained for backwards compatibility.  Or we'll get back to it so
long after it was written that no one will remember why the code was
written that way.

Not meaning to pick on ContextMethod in particular.
