I was working with a customer, deploying iterate and CMFEditions earlier  
this week, and found it very impressive. I did make the following notes of  
things I'd like to see fixed:

- Product is not reinstallable (it complains that lock_info already
exists in the catalog)

- Documents that are default views in folders can't be checked out/in
when you look at them (the system thinks you're looking at the folder,
obviously)

- Needs an indicator at the top that says "You are currently editing a
working copy of [Document XYZ]" with a link to the original version

- The ability to diff the working copy with the original you checked out  
from

- When viewing folder_contents, I get an error about the lock icon not
being available

- There is not enough security granularity to grant only CheckOut, but not  
CheckIn

These are mostly about configuration, and some tiny buglets - but in  
general it seemed to work really well, and I'd love to see this in Plone.
