Then I call them "new mini features" which are reasonably manageable through
a reasonable release management (I hope we have one :-)).

I am not in the position to tell people what to do but an ongoing Z2 
development
is vital for Zope and its community. A standstill is like going a step 
back. This is especially true
as long  as Zope 3 has the infrastructure that we need to build systems we 
can build with Zope 2.
