True, my mistake. Lennart pointed that out too just now. > My impression is that I am not the only one who is not pleased with > the proposed unification of utilities and adaptation. I've tried to analyze why that might be so elsewhere. There are three perspectives that I can see: * everything registered is really a factory. Returning a utility just requires registering a special factory. * everything registered is really an instance. Calling an adapter is just looking up an instance and then calling it. * we have two kinds of things registered, instances and factories. zope.component does that today. > My impression is that we are nearing consensus on the variation of 3 > that does not include utilities. I could live with that, as long as we had a way to look up utilities on the interface too.
