That means that the minor version of zope has no meaning but for the tarball 
version.

- The KGS version is always called "3.4" and always contains the latest 
bugfixes. There is no 3.4.X
- The tarball version is released from time to time, when the number of upgraded 
packages worth it. This one is called 3.4.X

That also means that :
- The 3.4 KGS is actually already released without having to release it!
- the current RC tarball can be released now as 3.4.0 with current eggs
- the bugfixes can be pushed to the KGS the day after

This would allow all the bugfixes to be available as soon as they are released, 
and not to have to wait for 3.4.1.
