Right, lib/python/zope is actually Zope X3.0.0, and we didn't expect 
we'd need to *update* Zope X3.0 in order for it to work with Zope 2.8. 
The new ZODB version is having some repercussions there. Zope X3.0 was 
released against an older version of ZODB. I'm really at a loss at what 
to do there. I can spend time trying to shut up Zope X3 I guess, if that 
is the only option... What is the recipe of changing get_transaction(), 
is this documented somewhere?

I don't think Five has much in the way of fundamental get_transaction(); 
there is one in browser.py and some in the test code.
