I have not seen any significant changes to ZClasses since Zope 2.4/2.5 or
so (that's when I started working for ZC and learned about Zope). Now they
broke in Zope 2.8 and kept up the release and maybe only a small number
of people have the wisdom to maintain and fix outstanding issues.

I don't understand what you want to say with that but ZC also lives from 
the
community and the community lives to a certain part of the work of ZC. So
is all about giving and taking :-)
