Umm.. no backwards compatibility? Can someone smart explain why this is good? Or, do the previous users get consigned to the Ash Heap of History along with the old code?

Do note the difference between Zope 3 and Zope X3. The real Zope 3 release is supposed to have a compability path of some sort.

I've been hoping to get a Zope 3 article in at some point, but that hasn't happened yet. I can say, though, that anybody who actually learned how to program within Zope 2 is likely to be sympathetic to the idea that the whole thing needed to be rethought.

Very nicely phrased. Couldn't have said anything more printable, myself :)
