Note that doing a beta isn't just releasing the branch as it is. You 
should update all externals to the current 3.4.x releases of the 
individual eggs as well. The KGS [1] maintained by Stephan Richter 
provides you with a list of the most recent releases (except that the 
latest ZODB 3.8.0 candidate [2] isn't in it, apparently)

Also please be careful not to add or remove packages arbitrarily from 
the externals. If I remember correctly, a while back somebody just 
copied the externals from the Zope 3 tree to Zope 2 and added a bunch of 
not-releasable software to Zope 2 and removed other stuff in the process.
