... or if it's even necessary. I think we should also still pursue the 
effort of making Zope 3 integration into Zope 2 more seamless, making 
five.something hopefully unnecessary most of the time.

Yes, probably.

Well, I won't have to maintain their code at least. If Whit creates 
five.intid, he's the maintainer of that package. I might still decide to 
make it part of Zope 2 at some point, but I won't have to maintain it.
