- -1. The externals are just that, external to the Zope project. Modifying them should require extra thought, and a little extra effort, because the possibility exists that the change might break something outside the Zope tree. When we get to an egg-based Zope install, I think such a gesture would map onto "check out the source egg and force it into the path.'
