Amen to that.

I don't see how this "only benefits Zope2 developers". Zope2  
developers already get the whole bag, lock, stock and barrel. There  
is no change at all for them.

People keep telling Zope2 developers that the inclusion of Zope3  
doesn't mean you have to touch it, if you don't use it it is just  
inert code that won't cause any change in your Zope2 development  
style. Ok, I accept that, no problem at all. But why should this be  
any different for Zope3 developers, obviously including Zope2 code  
would mean exactly the same thing for them. Come on now.
