Exactly. And I expect CMF will also switch to z3c.form. > Once that happens I don't want to have formlib to still > be there as a dependency of Zope2 for all eternity. Agreed. I did just argue against the fast removal Tres proposed. But five.formlib will only evolve for a short period. Soon it will become a pure legacy package. Nothing we want to recommend for new projects. And in the long run five.formlib and its non-ZTK dependencies will become unmaintained.
