I know they are completely incompatible (this is almost the first thing that is said on the Zope3 homepage). And that's why I am worried. Because if Zope 3 is the future of Zope, then at one point everyone will have to use it (and stop using Zope 2).
No, wait, Zope 3 hasn't come out yet.
What *has* come out is Zope X3 3.0.0.0. That's _different_.
X3 is not compatible at all with 2. It is a waypoint on the roadmap to a non-X3 Zope 3 release which will be far more compatible with Zope 2.
In other words, this is a purely experimental release featuring no compatibility capability. It is not meant to be "how Zope 3 will be."
At least, that's my read of their statements.
It is different, but not as different as you make it sound. Personally, I am not that optimistic as others about providing compatibility layers, simply because it is not possible. :-) However, I believe in a smooth transition from Zope 2 to Zope 3. I think the Five project is the leading example, since it allows you to design applications that run on both platforms today. Also, I think eventually, once all the CMS actors get their act together, we will also have a very cool, new CMS framework; I doubt it will be CMF compatible...is that even desirable?
