No objection. I'll slip in a few changes to reindexObjectSecurity today
too probably.


However I'd like to urge the "Plone guys" (95% of which don't bother to
read or post in this list) to move their collective butts and actually
implement forward-compatibility in Plone itself rather that, once more,
tying the release of a base software to their own schedule.

We have been doing it in CPS for a while, in a "CPSCompat" product. It's
very easy, this is python, we can monkey-patch everything we need.

See for instance the state we had before CMF 1.5.2 was released:
http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/browser/CPSCompat/trunk/?rev=24873
These changes have become irrelevant now that CMF 1.5.2 is out, so the
current code doesn't have them anymore. And I haven't forced anyone to
release any other software just because I needed a new version of CPS
out there.
