Forum OpenACS Development: Response to Some 4.X questions, and comments, including adding wizards to the package spec and complaints about subsites

Not only will you not see any benefit for small sites, but the complexity might actually get in your way and slow your development progress.  This might be balanced by other areas in openacs 4.x, such as the new db api or the templating system - both which should boost productivity in large or small site development projects.

For small sites, using something like openacs 3.2.5 or acs 3.4.10 (if you need oracle) might be more appropriate.
