My 0.02: take out the 2.6 under 2.3 tests (Zope 2.6 + Python 2.3 won't 
be a supported platform, unless someone in the community wants to take 
it on).

We are nearly done with the 2.3 'audit', and I'm confident that there 
will be no problem making it the required platform for 2.7. If someone 
wants to maintain tests running under 2.2 that would be ok, though I 
expect that will become more and more of a challenge over time. If it 
were me, I'd run the tests as 2.6 under Python 2.1 and 2.7 under 
Python 2.3.
