No guarantees, but I do know the PythonLabs crew and the Zope development
crew try to keep things working with 2.2. That doesn't mean there won't
be problems, but I don't suspect it'll be as tricky as the move from
1.5.2 to 2.1. The main thing is that the Zope C extensions keep working, but
that seems to be watched fairly carefully.

So, perhaps yes, perhaps no, but don't expect a long period of Zope trying
to catch up with Python again.
