I don't think that threats to leave and portrayals of utter doom are a fair way to discuss this, Stephan. I must say I find it extremely ironic to hear from you that stalling Zope 3 for several months is a death blow to Zope 3 -- where was this sentiment in the past? :)
Note that I don't claim that my leaving would stall the development. I just use my case as an example. I always consider myself of someone, who accepts a very high bar for contributing. So, if I think the the bar is too high, my thinking goes, then others will also conceive it as too high and that causes the stalling. Everyone is replaceable, I have learned that in the US. But a certain group might not as easily be.
Like it or not, merging the repository or not, you'd better get used to the fact that Zope 2 developers are here in your community and that they will speak up to let their interests be known. It's in your interest to make us happy, actually, as we're working to make Zope 3 a better community and a better system.
I know that The Zope 2 people are around. And I try to answer Five questions on the lsits and on IRC as good as I can. I also have nothing against hearing the interest of the Zope 2 community. But I am also in a position where I must protect the interests of the Zope-3-only community as well. And in *my* opinion, in this particular case the Zope 2 community has a lot to gain at the expense of the Zope-3-only community. I have outlined my arguments for that statement in the many E-mails before.
