I just created Zope 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 instances on Mac OS X. There, 
zope.conf does NOT contain any formatter lines. The formatter line is, 
however, present in 3.3.x.

I'm suspecting that Adam, who built the 3.2.x releases, was executing 
the wrong command when building the tarball, because zope.conf.in on the 
3.2.x branch doesn't contain the formatter line. It's zope.conf.in on 
the 3.3.x branch that does.

http://dev.zope.org/Zope3/MakingARelease says you should be making a 
tarball with

     ../../zpkgtools/bin/zpkg -r Zope-3.3.0b1 -C Zope.cfg Zope


but of course you need to replace Zope-3.3.0b1 with the current tag 
(which is 3.2.2). My suspicion is that Adam forgot to do that and so he 
built a tarball of 3.2.2, but with zopeskel from 3.3.x.
