[Zope3-dev] Can we remove ZopeLegacy for now?

[Guido van Rossum]

Phillip,

A zone object would be fine, but it still ought to be a subclass of
datetime that supports it.  That subclass could well be a standard
subclass.  But you'll have to spell out the interface to the zone hook
to explain how the zone can control e.g. how time arithmetic is
affected by DST changes.

The base datetime object uses neither localtime nor UTC -- it can be
used for either, since it's up to the application to decide what a
datetime object means.
