[Product-Developers] [Dexterity] Why attribute storage instead of annotations

Hi there,

data defined through a schema in Dexterity seems to be stored
directly as attribute on the persistent context object. Why
is this the case? Wasn't it consider bad practice in the AT world
doing this? A simple change to one attribute causes the complete
persistent object to be written to disk. Why doesn't Dexterity make
use of annotations or a btree here?
