That's good to know.

The traceback includes the filename and position of errors in page 
templates, which is very valuable.  I'm surprised you consider this 
sub-optimal.

I'm not sure what you mean by "no source code".  If you mean that it 
shows the module name rather than the filename, I'd hate to go back on 
that change.  It made Zope 2.6 tracebacks far more readable!
