I think (or better hope) that the next 2.9 release won't be as painful as 
the 2.8 release since the planned feature and there are much more people 
that know about Five and Zope 3 than about ZODB/MVCC/ZClasses which caused 
the bottleneck in the 2.8 development. Depending on how Zope 3.2 will be 
released it would be cool to have 2.9 shipped with Zope 3.2. I don#t know 
about the 3.2 release schedule. Possibly we could focus on a 2.9 release in 
fall (October)... we might also look what ZC has in their bags (based on
Rob's ZF announcement).
