I am in awe.  Cool. :-)

However, I am also a little confused.  As I understand it, Stackless 
needs all C code to be non-reentrant, i.e. C code must never call back 
into Python.  But Zope has a lot of reentrant code, especially in 
Acquisition and ZODB.  Doesn't that prevent Zope from taking advantage 
of Stackless continuations?
