I don't think any of the differences are intentional.  It's just that
I don't get any more warning that you do about ZOpe releases, and it's
hard to keep ZODB in sync across the many maintenance and release
branches.

There are several bug fixes that exist in ZODB that didn't make it
into Zope 2.6.  I'm not sure how much of a support complication it
really is.  The cPersistence bug that Steve and I fixed the other day
really should have made it in, since it's going to break some existing
extensions.  On the other hand, the two releases are similar enough
that it should be safe to install ZODB 3.1 on top of Zope 2.6.
