Yes, works flawlessly. The problems in zope.security and zope.proxy that I 
recently found (and fixed) exist for Python 2.4 as well.

Yeah, yeah. Next week I am traveling, so I plan to just update the packages to 
the latest bug-fix release and publish it.

No I have not started doing that yet.

No, but producing it is not that much work.

Yes, please. It effectively means giving more people to the directories on 
download.zope.org.

That's a good question. I am +1 for that.
