You are ignoring my point though: why should the ZTK have to be burdened with trying to be backwards compatible with something that it never was? Why are you insisting on putting Zope3 in it?
We should not remove it until we have a good way to upgrade people away from it.
Who is upgrading? There are not historical users of the ZTK, only users of package sets with greater or lesser intersections with the ZTK.
And let's please not turn this around: I'm not putting anything *in*. Something was *removed*. Let's remove it responsibly. Not just disclaim responsibility and drop it all.
You are acting like we have code in the wild which needs to upgrade from some released version of the ZTK to a newer one, and which will thereby break. There is *no* released version: we can't possibly break anybody. People who want to consume the yet-to-be-released ZTK are going to need to make choices about how they include various pacakges which aren't part of it; there is nothing surprising about that at all. You seem to be worried that the removed packages will bitrot because they aren't part of the ZTK: going forward, that may in fact be so, but *only if they aren't being used by people who also track the ZTK*, in which case their removal has harmed no one.
