Using CMF 2.2 for Plone 4.1 means we have to maintain CMF 2.2 for a long time and Zope 2.12 is the primary platform for CMF 2.2. So if you really want stop maintaining Zope 2.12 soon: Wouldn't it be better to release CMF 2.3 in time for Plone 4.1?
Plone 4.1 is long past the implementation deadline for new code. We would have had to have a CMF 2.3 beta release by late October to use it in Plone 4.1.
Off-topic on this list, but for the record: Most CMF 2.3 changes are in code that is not used by Plone. AFAICS the only changes that might affect Plone are the SyndicationTool modifications. But those modifications are anyway not in a releasable state because they cause at least some BBB issues. If that's the reason why Plone 4.1 can't use CMF 2.3, I'd vote for backing out those changes.
But if we get a CMF 2.3 release in the next couple months, we can get it into Plone 4.2, which should be out sometime at the end of this year. In Plone we only support one minor feature release (4.x) at the same time, so as soon as 4.2.0 is released maintenance of 4.0.x and 4.1.x ends.
So what is the plan? Maintenance for Zope 2.12, CMF 2.2 and Plone 4.1 ends simultaneously at the end of this year? Or end Zope 2.12 maintenance earlier and make CMF 2.2 releases for an unmaintained platform? Or drop support for the major target platform between CMF 2.2.x and 2.2.y? Cheers, Yuppie
