The Plone 3.x series will stay on Python 2.4 for a long time yet, so this would be very disappointing. I can understand it if the maintenance burden becomes large, or if there are compelling features of 2.5/2.6 that we really want to make use of. The tgz issue seems like a pretty weak reason, though, especially since there are workarounds.
"Stability or goodies, pick one". If you can't upgrade to a newer Python / Zope, you can't use the ZTK, which *cannot* be constrained by backwared compatiblity with pre-2.12 Zope versions: those versions are stuck with using the Zope 3.3 / 3.4 trees on which they were originally based, just as they are stuck with Python 2.4.
Thinking further on this: there is actually not much "shiny" about the ZTK: it is going to be equivalent to a cut-down, dependency-stripped, bbb-cruft-sanded version of the packages already shipping with Zope 2.10.x / 2.11.x. Until Plone quits using Zope2 altogether (likely never, AFAIK) Plone has no direct interest in the ZTK, which is just a layer of the Zope2 stack from Plone's perspective.
