I'm a bit uncertain about the time frame for 1.6, there are a number  
of constraints behind it. If the GenericSetup backport gets finished  
and a 1.6.0 release is made in not too long then I'll use that.  
Otherwise a 1.5.6 would be nice.

I intended my changes to make it possible to use events by using super 
() in a number of places, but that won't even be possible for 1.6  
because of these constraints (plone compatible and too much third- 
party products would break).

So if there's a 1.5.6 I want to merge part of my changes into it
(see http://svn.zope.org/CMF/branches/1.6/CMFDefault/File.py? 
rev=40207&view=rev)
so that I can at least monkey-patch the super() into place from my  
framework and start using events without waiting for Plone or CMF 2.0.

Let's wait a bit and see how 1.6 goes.
