This project is frustrating the hell out of me.

If you want to customize your Plone site, don't do this:

• Go around wildly in your Products folder in customization frenzy and patch files like there's no tomorrow; and not even write down what you changed where. Monkey patches are a hundred times better than this!
• Make customizations in the ZODB that your filesystem code depends on, so that you can't use the filesystem code anymore without that exact same database. Have fun reproducing your environment!

Please, these things are totally disastrous. You might just as well throw your Plone site out the window!

Gaah!!
