Hurt how?`They might think "Oh, that's too bad', but 2.7 works, and it's 
obvius that the features of 2.8 is not so necessary to people to make 
them scream about it...

So, since the major feature of 2.8 is to take a step forwards towards 
3.0 compaitibility with new classes and all that, why would it hurt 
ZClass people not to be able to use Zope2.8? Thay are not loosing any 
functionality...

Nothing gets removed. Zope 2.7 still exists...

Sure. I'm just voicing my opinion here, and *I* don't see a problem with 
2.8 not supporting ZClasses.
