Thanks for the clarification. Based on discussion by the Plone 4  
framework team on IRC this morning, I think we're now ready to stop  
using the BBB interfaces even if there is still code in the wild using  
those interfaces, as the changes needed to use the z3 interfaces  
instead are not complicated and can be documented.

:)  Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that I don't anticipate  
cooperation from CMF folks.

I'm currently working on backporting the changes related to Zope 2.12  
and CMF trunk compatibility from Plone trunk for use in the 4.x  
series...so will have a better idea of whether there are any problems  
in the next week or two.  At that point I'll follow up on the CMF list.
