[Zope-dev] Can we forsake database backward compatability on the head for a while?

[Jim Fulton]

Zope 2.8 will not include the old BTree or intSet objects.  I plan to
arrange for this not to be a problem for old databases. Somehow, Zope 2.8
will convert these automatically.  I haven't done this yet though.

I'd like to merge the new-style ExtensionClass and ZODB 3.3 work soon.
I'd like not to wait for the old-style BTree and intSet compatability
work.

This would mean that old databases would not be useable with the CVS head
in the near term.  Would this cause anyone any problems?
