[Zope3-dev] Zope 3.3.0 - Why is the minimum generation for 'zope.app' 1? What's a good practice to update to generation 5 prior to my own evolver?

[Jeff Shell]

Oops; I think I sent this reply (initially) only to Christian. I'm
sharing it now with the group. I still don't know what's going on. I
finally got it working (it appears) for us by writing my own evolver
that forced removal of all old Utility Registrations and also forced
removing the Dependencies on the local utilities themselves.

But it wasn't enough. We have to go back to Zope 3.1 for this
particular project. We've lost way too much time wrestling with
obscure issues last week, and I've declared Zope as "hazardous to my
health" as it was the final straw that got me smoking again after two
months clean.

I tried running the 'evolve-maximum' subscriber, and set my product's
maximum to just be '1' for now instead of 2 (2 being the one that
wants to use the registration system). It still errors out in zope.app
generation 3... Waaa!
