No, you are right. Two lines of code doesnt count as 'cramming'.  I was u=
nder=20
the impression that these patches were somewhat more intrusive (as most i=
18n=20
patches tend to be). Ill check out that branch....

The risk is that you are wrong in this judgement. I have no reason to thi=
nk=20
that you are, except that everyone has made this mistake at some time....=

I certainly was when I first ran a patched Zope. I am probably a 'typical=
=20
user' of other packages where I currently run patched versions. (unless t=
he=20
fact that I am comfortable using 'patch' means I am an atypical user of a=
ll=20
packages. Hmmm)

Are you suggesting that *any* patch is too hard for the typical zope user=
?
