That's good!  But maybe you can clarify.  You said in response to  
Phillipp's proposal that you needed to make deep changes to Zope 3 in  
the past and if the Z2 repository was merged you would be unwilling  
to make such contributions again.  The implication seems to be that  
being able to change the codebase without regard to its external  
dependents is one of your main requirements for Z3 contribution.  Is  
that not what you meant?
