Plone users tend to use Undo quite a lot. If you accidentally delete something, say, it's pretty much your only way out save for a full restore from backup (which would likely be at least a few hours out of date). > Undo can be fixed, but not in a way that preserves the existing API. > > I'm tempted to remove undo support, at least from ZEO. Please, please don't. It'll upset a lot of people by removing an important (if imperfect) safety mechanism. It'll also make stronger the "ZODB is too opaque, I can't trust it" FUD. I think we can work to make Zope (2?) use a "new" API for undo is necessary. But *please* don't remove the feature. > So, I repeat: is anyone actually using undo these days? I'd say thousands of Plone users, yes. Martin -- Author of `Professional Plone Development`, a book for developers who want to work with Plone.
