Let's do it. This way people can test ZODB 4 on their existing Py2 code bases 
and we at CH can test our uibuilder/demo on Python 3. This will give us at 
least some confidence that we are going in the right direction.

We might consider not even tackling DB conversions for ZODB 4.0 and delay that 
to ZODB 4.1 or leave it even up to an add-on package. This way people can 
experiment with different approaches and we do not have to nail the conversion 
problem with ZODB 4.0.
