+1.  Note that we are contemplating a repository reorg for Zope3,
which will break the remaining "umbilical" connection to Zope2,
removing the last reason to combine the checkins;  when Zope3 gets
its own top-level module, absent symlinks into Zope2, then we should
cut over.

Re filtering:  it is *much* easier to use rules to combine messages
from two lists than to split them;  splitting requires sniffing the
message body (for the 'Zope-3x-branch' tag, in this case), and becomes
completely infeasible when more than one tag is in play (as is beginning
to occur more often in Zope3).
