Oh, also please note that we're merging zope.interfaces and zope.testing
into Zope 2.8 already. So once we merge that branch (today, we expect),
ZODB 3.4 could be merged in. But I'm worried that there are other
factors involved with ZODB 3.4 that will hold up release even further.

For instance, there is no ZODB 3.4 release yet; how much work would that
entail?
