I could repeat here what Martijn and I wrote in response to Stephan...

I know that you, Roger, have been contributing a lot to new exciting features in Zope 3.
In doing so, you would never have to worry about Zope 2 because Zope 2 will only
explicitly use certain Zope 3 features. I believe you would in fact benefit from the Zope
2 combination because the features you write would get much better exposure to a large
install and development base that is *hungry* for Zope 3 technology. Also, you could
combine efforts with people who, until now, have been implementing framework-level stuff
in their own projects.

Bottom line: I find the risk of your having to dig through horrible Zope 2 code much lower
than the chance of joint efforts on Zope 3 technology. Of course, it'd be quite surprising
if I didn't believe that as the author of the proposal *wink*.
