[warning: gratutious Zope flames coming up!]

Well, several people pointed them out as a PR bonus for Zope.  I think
Zope versions are only a PR bonus because people instinctively
understand that throwing everything into a database and losing the
ability to grep/emacs/cvs your web site sucks, but still want to believe
that complex database trickery can alleviate one of those problems.
It can't.
