-      ZClasses To-do
-
-        There are a number of significant tasks remaining before
-        ZClasses can be considered ready for production use:
-
-        - When ZClass instances are exported, their classes are
-          exported too.  This essentially copies the classes. When the
-          instances are imported, their classes will not be accessible
-          and will not be connected to any classes in the control

-          happens whenever objects are copied.  This was an
-          intentional feature to make the instances self-contained,

         We expend to make a number of Zope 2.0 alpha, beta, or
         candidate releases over the next several weeks.
