Would it be possible to keep a pure new incompatible Zope3, and have 
Zope2 compatibility as an add-on product?

So, I'd be able to get rid of that product, and have a cruft-free Zope.


It sounds like a tall order, but there are applications I'd gladly port 
to Zope3 which need have no Zope2 dependencies.
