This is FUD.  We've been running Zope 2.7 on Python 2.3 as long as
there's been a 2.3 to run on.  Python 2.3 has proven a remarkably
stable release, and the two bugfix releases have only improved that
situation.  There will be a 2.3.3 release, likely in December, but
that's only because Jim decided to tickle a very tedious corner case
in Zope 3.

The cost of maintaining Zope 2.x for more than one version of Python
for each branch is excessive, and does more to contribute to bugginess
and cost for Zope Corporation than just fixing problems that are
found.
