What is sad to me is that the reporter seems to have gotten it backwards. 
To me, the point of interfaces and adapters is to support and extend the 
notion of generic programming, not undermine it.  After reading the 
Programmers' Introduction referenced in a previous post, Zope 3 seems to 
have made contributions in this regard that may well trickle into standard 
Python.
