I now all this nice mails, that was the reason why I wrote about 
to stop propagate to get a migration path for Zope2 projects.

As dominik already said, we organized 9 Zope3 sprints here in switzerland 
this year and there we get asked everytime "when is this migration
possible".

Belive me, people where not involved in active development and reading
mailinglists are waiting for a Zope2 compatible Zope3 version.
Especialy customer where developed Zope2 projects two or three
years ago and don't have activ contacts to the developers.

It whould be nice to update this statement and give the people 
a new vision for their applications. And post it prominent at 
the www.zope.org site.
