Depends.  If somebody has an appetite for making a 3.0.1 release (not
me!) then make the branch compatible with ZODB 3.4.  We can then
re-branch to create the 2.8 extract (probably by merging the changes
from our current branch).

ZODB 3.4 updates the transaction.IDataManager contract (documents what
was always the real contract), which causes a test in that package to
fail.  Again, we can "fix" it on the 3.0 branch, if a release is planned
there, or else just fix it on our own branch.
