Yes.  I think the plan is that the primary focus of ZODB 3.3 and Zope
2.8 will be new-style ExtensionClass and Persistent.  It will also
include MVCC.  The hope is that we'll get it done as quickly as
possible, as opposed to the more open-ended release cycle that we've had
for the last few releases.

I'm not sure that this is the final plan, but I think Brian said he
supported it.
