Do we really want to enforce people to upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4? :-) If yes, why?
As long as both are accepted, we're not forcing anyone to change versions.
Advising anyone to step backward from a more stable version is a bad move. I'd rather see 2.3.3 go from being optimum for 2.7.1 to merely acceptable than to see the bugfix release (Python 2.3.4) be considered the second choice.
Another possibility - change the configure script so it accepts more than one version as "optimum." I think I could do that pretty easily. Opinions?
As with any upgrade, careful testing is needed. If the amount of testing needed is a concern (reasonable since it takes time), upgrade Python and Zope in lockstep.
Now, it would be nice if it were easier to switch an instance home to use a different software home. ;-)
