Yes.  Happy to look at patches, or to review design plans before they
get to the patch stage.

Normally, I'd say that the software has had a beta release, so we're
in feature freeze.  But we're going to bend that rule just this once.
Guido's done a lot of work to improve the cache and ZEO in general.
I'd rather get that code released soon than wait for the 2.0 release
cycle to finish and start a 2.1 release cycle.

The current plan is to do a combined beta release of ZODB3 and ZEO2
within the next few weeks.  We'll release them at the same time and
with the same CVS tag.  You'll still be able to get a separate ZEO
download.  It simplifies version management if we don't have ZEO
releases independent of ZODB releases.
