I have a data point: the JobBoard example.  I swear with my hand on my
heart that I no longer remember how it works or why various parts of
it are the way they are.  (Of course, this is atypical because Zope3
changed so much in the mean time.  But I don't even understand what
the code was *trying* to do any more, in some places.)
