FWIW, I think you're absolutely right. We can't just declare it "dead" because it is convenient to our goal of having clearer definitions about what we're working with. A piece of open source software is dead if no-one uses it and no-one maintains it. At least then, existing users can't count on bug fixers or security fixes. I think Martijn's point in starting this thread was to try to identify who wants to maintain Zope 3 as an app server and as something that gets released going forward. Let's give those people a chance to respond. Declaring things dead has a tendency to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and probably not something we should do lightly.
