Yeah, but the bug day was a big flop for both Zope 2 and Zope 3, so Andreas 
and I (and even with Jim's approval) decided not to release. I also will not 
cut a branch until more bugs have been fixed, so that I lower the bar for bug 
fixers and force people to work on bugs not features.

BTW, I think that Philipp did the right thing. Depending on a specific 
revision is fine, though pointing to the trunk right now would work too, 
since it is feature frozen.

Stephan
