Yes, I agree we should make this decision before the release. Not 
shortly before the release, but some months before the date for which 
the release is planned.

I want the Zope 2.9 release to be planned, so that issues like "taking 
longer than expected" will be less likely. So based on that and on the 
idea we want to do a Zope 2.9 release late this year, I just think it's 
unrealistic there'll be a Zope 3.2 release before then. Something may 
always drastically change though and we should be open to that. What I 
just want to avoid is having a situation where the Zope 2.9 release is 
*waiting* for a Zope 3.2 release.
