If we are able to maintain the time-based releases, we'll have another 
release in June of '06, that means if we use 2.4 for 3.2, Zope 2 will 
still have to migrate to 2.4, just in 10 months, not in 4.

Hmm, crazy idea: perhaps we should ask the Zope 2 folks (developers) if 
they'd be willing to do the work to get to 2.4.
