The few issues I have with the Zope 2 ZServer could be easily fixed by
someone with a bit of time and Medusa knowledge.

They are mainly due to the fact that handling 'streams' and 'gzip
compression' are done inside the ZServer with some not so nice
workarounds, instead of using the producers that medusa provides which
would simplify ZServer a lot.

The impression I had was that the person that added streaming and gzip
did not know about the medusa producers.
