In light of what we're seeing here, and because there is *so* much
third party code using getToolByName(), perhaps a
DeprecationWarning (and worse, speedy deprecation) is a bit
premature? I don't think we can get rid of getToolByName() for a
long time, practically, but new code should be encouraged from
using the new utility based lookup.
I'm getting a bit annoyed that things already decided back in
September are now being questioned. Please go back and read the
thread "Tools as local utilities", which you started, coincidentally.
I have spent days and days going down this route. This is a very
large piece of work and I took it over voluntarily because everyone
thought it was a good idea.
I'm sorry if I caused offense; I am very, very happy that you decided
this was worth your time, and I think it will be a very important
stepping stone in making CMF 2.1+ better and easier to integrate with.
I didn't realise we would fully deprecate getToolByName() quite yet,
though. I must admit I haven't been following your checkins, for lack of
time (and since you're surely more qualified than me in this work in any
case).
However, surely, if we agree that it's premature to do so, commenting
out the line that sends a DeprecationWarning won't be much of a change?
