We really need to follow a deprecation-style model here: the risk of breaking major third party components is pretty high. Could we use a module-scope global, settable from zope.conf, to indicate which strategy to use? It should (for 2.8) default to raising, but we need to be prepared for an onslaught of breakage reports. The CHANGELOG should highlight the change, and include the zope.conf snippet required to restore the old behavior. We could add a deprecation warning (if that entry is activated), that the old-style option would be removed in 2.10.
