I'm not arguing against preserving the majyk done for things Zope2 calls
'Products'; however, I don't want to extend the majyk any further. I
would also be fine with adding a new directive which caused explicit
triggering of introspected ZCML, e.g.:
<!-- Load ZCML from all packages which register a 'meta.zcml'
entry point -->
<majyk entry_point="meta.zcml" />
<!-- Load ZCML from all packages which register a 'configure.zcml'
entry point -->
<majyk entry_point="configure.zcml" />
I *really* don't see the point, by the way, in automagically running
'overrides.zcml' from products: by definition, the reusable package
author doesn't know enough to override declarations made by other
reusable packages. If a site manager wants to configure overides, then
adding them manually to her site.zcml should be fine.
