Uh, why only Zope3 developers? This affects the whole Zope community!

Really, I'm quite tired of trench wars like Zope 2 vs. Zope 3. Like Martijn said, we need
to come together, not apart. I'm starting to get the feeling that some Zope 3 developers
rather see Zope 2 die than embrace some of its experience and community. May I remember
everyone again that we once said we'd do something about the transition (we even boldly
called it "backward compatability" back then, but even I thought that this was quite too
unrealistic). So far, nobody from Zope 3 has done anything in that direction, it's always
been left to the Zope 2 people. Don't take me wrong, I'm not accusing, it naturally
developed that way. But now that Zope 2 people want to join efforts, the Zope 3
developers close the gates under the excuse of saving their "early adoption" investment?

I'm a Zope 3 developer. Martijn is too. Don't jump to premature conclusions :).
