I can't speak for Jim, but here's my thoughts, anyway.

The biggest hurdles for packages that have substantial test suites and
development tool support (like ZODB) will be the availability of
tools.

At this point, setuptools and zc.buildout don't support Python 3 yet;
until setuptools is available there's unlikely to be any movement to
supporting Python 3 in the Zope world.

Hopefully, someone will deal with that fairly soon, but I can't bring
myself to hold my breath for it.
