+1 here as well.  Plone 2.5 depends on CMF 1.6 and thus has the same 
dependency issue.  even worse, it supports both Zope 2.8 and Zope 2.9, 
so in some cases (Zope 2.8 setups) installing an additional version of 
Five is necessary, but in other cases (Z2.9) installing that version of 
Five will break everything.
