Now that ikiwiki is in full swing (yay) and zwiki is now no longer being used I think this means that the custom zope installation on frontend can be dropped.
I would like to do this and return it to the stock version, by uninstalling zope. That will be one obstacle removed from the upgrade path. Sound good? Unless there is objection I will plan on doing that uninstall and cleanup of zope on frontend. Currently I have zope2.10 and zope-common marked as hold so that the package manager won't perturb them. Since they are not actually installed by the package manager but had files copied on top of the installation. Not knowing that caused some issues with the somewhat recent upgrade there. Bob
