But Five has no *need* of this stuff in Zope 2, and I suspect it'll only 
make our life harder. Either we'll be locked into a stale Zope 2.8 
version or we'll have to maintain compatibility with both Zope 3 
releases and Zope 2 releases..

If someone can package up the stuff needed for Five and nothing else and 
wrap it up as a Zope 2 product (that fiddles with the path), fine. 
That's only to make things more easily deployable. Right now the hard 
part is however detaching Zope 3 stuff from its dependencies -- for Five 
you'd need an enormous chunk of Zope 3 in order to make it work. Why 
bother with it?
