From the code it doesn't seem to do any strange things, but I would like to know if anybody has experience of using it in a production environment, or any other experiences and that would recommend not using it in a production environment. The central feature I'm interested in is the ability to setup packing policies inside Zope. I know many people uses Cron or Scheduler but I like to have one platform independent solution and preferably inside the Zope process.
