We probably don't, but: If we want to make the modification on
CMFonFive, we either must support CMF 1.5, or make a fourth current
CMFonFive version.

CMFonFive 1.2.x is for CMF <= 1.5.1 and Five <= 1.2 (And therefore
Zope 2.7 and 2.8)
CMFonFive 1.3.x is for CMF >= 1.5.2 and Five <= 1.2 (And therefore
Zope 2.7 and 2.8)
CMFonFive 1.4.x is for CMF >= 1.5.2 and Five >= 1.3 (And therefore Zope 2.9)

Now, to support Zope 2.8 and Zope 2.9 with these changes, we need to
put it both in 1.3 and 1.4, and we must then support both CMF 1.5 and
1.6. If we only want to support CMF 1.6, we need a CMFonFive 1.5.x
that is for CMF >= 1.6.0.

Yes, I agree. So I think all of CMFonFive, including these changes,
should be in CMF 1.6. That ends the dance. It was a mistake to move
half of CMFonFive into CMF. We should have moved all of it in, and
called that 1.6 instead of 1.5.2 (but that's too late now).

Doing this however, means that CMF 1.6 will NOT support Zope 2.8. I
don't find that to be a problem, the "everything works with
everything" seems to be too much work. But others might not agree.
