To relax this discussion a bit: the original plan was to deprecate ZClasses
to tell that developer that it is using a somewhat unsupport ancient method 
to develop with Zope. There was no plan to remove ZClasses after two major 
releases as usually but to have an option to kick same at some point when 
they should raise major problems (I know you had some work to get ZClasses
working again in Zope 2.8)...well, the point is that there is too much 
scary code around in Zope 2 where only possibly only one person knows about 
the deepest internals.
