Cool, thx!

Thanks, that was my impression.

Right, except Plone 4 with Zope 2.12 and repoze.zope2 won't have that
much to do with the old Zope 2 anymore ;)

Ok. so Grok 2.0 is what we are going to be interested in. We already
decided to switch to Chameleon as the default and only template story,
will use z3c.form instead of formlib and I'll want to bring the changes
from zope.pipeline into the repoze.zope2 story. The Zope Toolkit
dependency reduction is obviously on our list as well.
