Well, in that case you should be able to at some time during that
process, switch to a new Zope version... I do understand that Zope
2.9.0 may not be something you want to depend on, but most likely
there will be a 2.9.1 out by May, so maybe you can consider switching
then?

It's hard to avoid that, I think, without putting a huge break on the
changing.
