I would add to Martijn points that we have a new framework (Zope3)
providing a different architecture than Zope2 and a different paradigm.
It means that porting CMF on Zope3 "as is" designed and built on Zope2
doesn't make a lot of sense.

Of course, keeping the best practices and experiences of everybody is
our strength. The concepts are important but the architecture needs to
be a brandly new one taking adavantages as much as possible of Zope3.

We'll deal with backward compatibility with the use of Five later on
when we will start thinking about linking some of the new ECM components
on the existing CMF running on top of Zope2.

So let's talk about Zope2 CMS framework in term of concepts.

BTW, Zope-2.8b2 is on schedule :)
