My sentiments exactly.

If we decide to stick with the November release, 3.4/2.11 will be very 
very unambitious. I don't think 2.11 is any different from 2.10, except 
that some BBB code is to be removed. That makes me wonder: perhaps we 
should set the next release date for 6 months from now (March), like 
Andreas suggested on zope-dev at zope.org.
