I think we can have a meta-package for "the Zope application" that
defines a dependency for all packages, some of those might still be
3.4.0 whilst others might be 3.5.1 etc. I don't think we really need the
download areas to gather the eggs.

Right. Maybe even longer, I don't know. We *really* have to start
spreading the word on how to develop a Zope application with buildout if
we want to retire our normal releases.

We also have to think about the PR issues we're gonna face IMHO. We
might decide to not do anything for PR, but we should have looked at the
consequences and know what we're heading for.
