Re: implication of removing portal_skins

As far as I can tell, less TTW configuration has never been a goal of
Plone. In fact, we continually try to do more of it. Case in point:
dexterity, registry and diazo editing interfaces. Having the main target
audience of larger, complex sites does not necessitate less TTW
configuration.

Let's get back to the original topic. I am merely trying to present a
document to help integrators move to use the modern technologies and how we
advise them in doing that.
