Many products I downloaded did not work with my zope 2.5.0. ZopeGUD is broken. I could not even create an RPM for ZMySQLDA, even though I asked around on this list. So I still don't have MySQL access. Apparently, that's because you are fixed to RPM...
Other products are listed as unmaintained. Why are they still on the list? Probably, because they may nevertheless be useful...
