OpenACS developers: please take a look Tcl's TIP 278.

I am trying to establish if and how much breakage that TIP might cause. As it is, I am pretty sure that it will fix more bugs than it causes, as any code that purposefully depends on the disabled feature is probably fragile.

It would be interesting to test the OpenACS code base against that branch, to see if things work alright. The exercise may also help detect some fragility in the code - failed tests do not automatically mean that the code breaks. We have seen such cases in both the Tcl and XOTcl test suites.

I am trying to communicate with the aolserver developers too, but could not find a devel mailing list. Any of you around here?

I have opened tip-278-branch in tcl cvs. Please test if you can.
