There is a growing collection of important ZODB bugs to fix in Zope
2.6.2.  I'd like to wrap up the bug fixing soon and prepare a release.

I'm currently working on a new pack implementation to fix the reported
bugs and a few soon-to-be-reported bugs.  Since this is a rewrite of a
fairly involved operation, I'm not sure if this pack fix will make it
into a bugfix release.  We'll need to evaluate the trade-offs once the
code is finished.
