Right. The changes done on trunk was to move over the ugly
five_templates hack that you and me did to using the Zope3 standard
context/@@standard_macros/page instead. The changes are small and can
be easily undone if you like.

It's not very experimental to be honest. ;)

However, yet again I shot myself in the foot. I should have made a
branch, because I realized that the not-experimental change was less
useful than I thought. I have made an experimental change to fix that,
and that is on a branch.

I know, that's why I really wanted this in 2.8.0, because it increases
page template compatibility between Five and Zope3 quite a lot... But
it's not my decision, just my desire. :)
