Yes, it IS indeed a problem if there is no single Zope version out there 
that can be used without patches. 2.6.0 has the DateTime bug, the 
2.6.1b1 has new issues. I have complained a lot about the lousy release 
management in the past, but nobody seems to listen.

P.S.: After all, it's so easy: Take a Zope version that has some bugs, 
fix the bugs and release it as a bugfix release. DON'T add features that 
might trigger new bugs. THEN start working on the next feature release.

AND: THERE SHOULD NEVER, I REPEAT: NEVER BE NEW FUNCTIONALITY OR CODE 
CHANGES BETWEEN A FINAL BETA AND A RELEASE! IF IT IS NOT FINAL; RELEASE 
ANOTHER BETA!!!!!!
