You know I can turn this around and say that by focusing all development on Zope 3, the
Zope development team left Zope 2 out there to die in its old ways of doing things,
despite the fact that some sort of transition capabilities were promised for a long time
(maybe I needed to remind of you of this...). A rewrite from scratch is always easy, but
dealing with the transition and deprecations is the hard work which is now left up to
people who were early adopters of Zope *2* and hoping for that promised transition. Great
appreciation!

As you can see, this angle at looking things doesn't get us anywhere and I would rather
not pursue it further. What I want is a sensible transition for the future. And it's not
like Zope 2 people aren't willing to put an effort in it...
