zX

maybe zope should take a hint from OS X and use this fine release to dump some name baggage? 2.10 looks awesome.

just a few hings I'm excited about:

* wsgi & twisted

* formlib

* viewlets

* clockserver

* testbrowser

* z3 ZPTs

* no more traversable directives!

* pythonproducts: zope2 code that lives on the pythonpath like normal python

* native egg support

This is the idea that caught my eye: improving a system's refactorability as a quantifiable exercise.

plus quantifying improvement can be a powerful motivator (as anyone who has gone on an optimization binge knows).
