I know the good reasoning behind the time-based releases, but have they really worked out?
Yes and No.Yes: It's a must to have Zope 2 and Zope 3 in sync. Zope 2 development got a some more momentum again.. No: Half a yr is a short time. Major changes happened right short before the first beta release. Not all Zope users won't follow this fast release cycle.
For me, the fact that Zope 2.9.3 still emits deprecation warnings on a fresh install (zLOG...) is a pretty bad sign.
Deprecation warning is only annoying but not a bad sign. Deprecations are not a functional problem.
Now, this could all be seen as fair game, Zope _is_ going through a period of big and positive change as Zope 2 and Zope 3 converge, things like zLOG finally get put to rest and we move onto newer more powerful versions of python.
right...I did not think that we deprecated and removed something without having a reasonable replacement...or did we?
If that's the case, then I hope we, as a community, "get there" at some point and can get back to focusing on the stability of the good ol' days.
+1, +1, +1 Andreas PS @all developers: I hope you don't forget the bugday tomorrow :-))
