At the moment Zope 2 depends from Zope 3. I'm fully aware that Zope 2 is 
a major user of the technology now and actively want to evolve towards 
Zope 3. So I'm aware that we have to cooperate some way. But I'm not 
shure, if such a fully reunite is the right step.

It's possible to move *important and long term* packages from the Zope 2 
to Zope 3 repository and support them at that place, because we already 
have that dependency. But and that's my point, there is really no clue 
bringing *everything* into Zope 3.

Total reunite is never a winning strategy because it increases 
complexity of a system. IMO we already reached a critical level of 
complexity within Zope 3. The winning strategy would be to select 
important parts and push off the needless.

Such a partial reunite strategy was never intended to be a war Zope 2 
vs. Zope 3. It's just a question of the personal resources.

Dominik
