While that is the "correct" policy, I would argue that a fully-backward-compatible extension like this would be a sensible extension, at least until we establish a track record with the new "time-based" release policy. If necessary, we could implement it in the same way that Five did for Zope 2.7, by creating a product which does a controlled monkey-patch for the 2.8 (or even 2.7) releases, and then incorporating that product, minus the monkey patch, for 2.9. > I got the impression people want to do this now.

Ah, yes, I should read the whole message first. ;) +1 for the "product-includes/*" directory notion, by the way.
