For example, launchpad_branches = getUtility(IAllBranches).visibleByUser(jml).inProduct(launchpad) print launchpad_branches.ownedBy(julian_edwards).getMergeProposals() launchpad_branches provides IBranchCollection but not IAllBranches. Only the IBranchCollection of all branches provides IAllBranches. Having just one interface called "IFooSet" isn't enough to express this relationship. Also, when I first implemented BranchCollection, I deliberately made it something different from our existing BranchSet. Although BranchSet might have been intended in some distant past to be like BranchCollection is now, the reality was nowhere near the intent. To avoid people sticking methods like new() and getTopFiveRecentProductBranchesForHomePage() on the BranchCollection, I made it something different and gave it a different name.
