I know that you, Roger, have been contributing a lot to new exciting features in Zope 3. In doing so, you would never have to worry about Zope 2 because Zope 2 will only explicitly use certain Zope 3 features. I believe you would in fact benefit from the Zope 2 combination because the features you write would get much better exposure to a large install and development base that is *hungry* for Zope 3 technology. Also, you could combine efforts with people who, until now, have been implementing framework-level stuff in their own projects.
So you think it is better to loose the existing Zope 3 developers in anticipation of more community involvement? This would be Zope 3's death blow as we know it, because it would stall Zope 3 for several months. Honestly, I rather have less exposure and keep the code base clean.
Bottom line: I find the risk of your having to dig through horrible Zope 2 code much lower than the chance of joint efforts on Zope 3 technology. Of course, it'd be quite surprising if I didn't believe that as the author of the proposal *wink*.
You are kidding, right? You know April 1st is not for another 4 months. In all honesty, I think you are downplaying the new overhead of Zope 3 developers too much.
