I know, I just was rather taken aback by the XXX comment on the checkins 
list the other day and thought I'd bleat again.

In addition this week I heard the schoolbell/tool people sigh a bit 
about Zope 3 releases -- they have been developing against Zope 3 trunk 
and are planning a stable release in march for Schoolbell. They were 
assuming/expecting a release of 3.1 in january, but that didn't happen. 
Anyway, one can't blame just the Zope 3 project for that but also the 
development decisions taken with Schoolbell, but it's an unfortunate 
situation.

Additionally, since Five is still at Zope X3 (as I refuse to develop it 
against the trunk unless I know a release is imminent), Five has no 
chance of ever reusing Schoolbell code, as it relies on features not in 
X3.0.

I didn't say this before, but now that Brian has spoken up about it I 
feel I can repeat it. :)

Regards,
