I'd like us all to pause for a moment's silence.

Partly as recognition of the extreme pain our comrade
will experience if he ever needs to connect this thing
to the outside world in an untrivial way, and partly
because if I get started on Zope now, I won't get
anything else done today.

[Tip:  stay the hell away from caching any part of
the proxy chain[1], and always have enough memory to store
two copies of the entire Zope Object DB file in RAM.]

[1]  Do we have the time or inclination to express our
      collective hate for web app developers whose idea
      of sending the right cache control headers is
      'worksformydedicatedIPaddress'? [2]

[2]  ...or, for that matter, whose idea of performance
      testing involves running 100 requests through 'ab'
      and performing some rectal mathematics on the result?
