Does Zope really need any C extensions to do what it needs to do (not considering performance) if they were allowed to use new style classes? I was under the impression that the C extension(s) in Zope were developed to get around some of the shortfalls of the old class system, and was part of the reason for type/class unification?
In Zope 3 which can use new style classes we still see some C-extensions, but I imagine those are there mostly for performance reasons. I'm not sure about that though; I'll ask around. Regards, Martijn
