Yes, but we're not talkng about migrating from zope 2.6 to 3.3. We are
talking about people experiencing issues between 3.x to 3.3 here.

Zope 3.3 is not a "major new release with deeply incompatible changes
from 3.1", at least not if you look at the version numbers. If it was
then it perhaps it should have been versioned as 3.5 or even 4.0,
marking the impact on existing code obvious. For both developers and
customers.

I think customers expect not to pay a lot of money for migrating from
3.1 to 3.3 for instance. No matter how long the period of time between
those releases were (this is an example, of course)

My 2 öre.
