I guess you mean 3.3 branch HEAD, not Zope 3 trunk HEAD.

Well. I would prefer if there would be somebody who volunteers to test 
Zope 2 every now and then with the latest Zope 3 revision.

If he or she makes sure all tests pass, the svn:externals can be updated 
to that revision.

In the long run the issues have to be resolved anyway, so doing this 
step by step would not be much extra work. And we could avoid to do big 
last minute changes right before the release.


Pointing the svn:externals to the HEAD might encourage people to 
volunteer for fixing the issues, but I'm afraid a broken HEAD also 
discourages people to contribute other changes.


Just my 2 cents.
