With the current roadmap, we'll likely be able to stop using Zope 2.12 in 6-9 months altogether.
I've given this some thought: as long as Python 2.5 is the default install on Debian-based systems, as it currently is, you can't really go beyond Zope 2.12. This was the reason why support for Python 2.5 wasn't dropped for the ZTK > 1
Python 2.5 isn't supported by Zope 2.12 either (it is by ZTK 1.0 and 1.1). In fact there's no currently supported Zope 2 release that supports Python 2.5 (apart from the volunteer security support for 2.11/2.10 by some community members). And it's not only missing support claims, the code just doesn't work anymore in all cases. In all the hosting environments where we use Debian, we installed backports of Python 2.6. That's the price you pay for using a very stable distro for fast moving web stuff. Hanno
