I did Zope 3.2.1 mostly because some formlib fixes were needed in Zope 
2.9. I'm prepared to do more Zope 3.2.x releases as they are necessary. 
People just need to backport their fixes.

That they haven't done this is also partially the fault of the "checkin 
police" (which I count myself a member of ;)). I'll be more attentive in 
the future. I'm prepared to do this mercilessly (also for older 
bugfixes), the question is whether we shall adopt this policy now or not.
