Which by default is every time somebody runs a buildout, right?

Ah, good point. But I think what Martijn is saying is that when we
come with new *features* this should be made into a new page. Which
would then be Zope 3.5, or something.  Or did I misunderstand him?

But you are right, small bugfixes, and in particular security fixes,
should indeed go into the already existing page. Which means all you
would need to get a security fix would be to run buildout, possibly
forcing it to check for new versions if that is set to false by
default. That would indeed be a very nice feature.
