In the long run it probably isn't. But in the short term it seems to

We don't have to work on a plan. All we need is to work. A plan is
only needed when people start working in different directions.

So far I think it requires only changes to Zope2, yes. If I'm wrong I
would be interested to hear what you think must be changed in Zope 3.3
and 3.4.
