I'll see whether I can make some time to go through X3.0. in that case, 
to prepare for a X3.0.1. To do this work, I need ZODB 3.4 to be stitched 
into here, right:

http://svn.zope.org/Zope3/branches/ZopeX3-3.0/

is there a resolution on how to do this yet?

It's probably better to do it on X3.0 branch proper, and then extract a 
new 'more minimal' branch for Zope 2.8 (which we already have). It would 
be best if Tres did the latter, as he did it last time. :)

We need to carefully check whether there aren't changes in ZopeX3.0 for 
Zope 2.8 that we need to port to the new branch. Perhaps Tres has an 
idea on how to approach all of this.

Thanks; I haven't seen those warnings yet as I don't think ZODB 3.4 
quite got merged into Zope 2.8 trunk yet.
