I'm +1 on doing it on trunk, but -1 for 2.11. Zope 2.11 is already in 
late beta and only needs a Zope 3.4 final to be released.

 From a Plone perspective I would like to keep 2.11 as compatible with 
2.10 as it is right now, so we have an easy upgrade path for supporting 
blobs and getting the latest Zope libraries without breaking anything 
else. This would allow us Plone folks to use Zope 2.11 for one of the 
next minor feature update releases, say Plone 3.2 for example.

Ripping out the Interface module would make it impossible for us to use 
2.11 in any 3.x release of Plone.
