Oh please, stop the FUD.

Zope 2.9 is well within its normal release cycle and not going out of
style for a long time. Andreas had the idea of phasing out Zope 2
releases one year after their first release, which would mean that Zope
2.8 would be phased out soon, but not yet. That still doesn't mean it's
obsolete, it just means that there won't be any more bugfix releases.
Given how many Zope 2.8 had and that there aren't many more fixes to be
expected for it, I fail to see the problem with this.

Plus, if you care to make more Zope 2.8 releases, by all means, do it.
But don't burden Andreas with even more work when YOU once agreed to his
very policy (see
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2005-October/025556.html).

Fix it and stop complaining. This issue is dead.
