While there have been attempts to come up with an orderly release  
schedule I don't think anyone ever suggested some kind of deprecation  
scheme for Zope versions. It would be very helpful for everyone in the  
community to have a place to go where they can see which versions are  
in which "support state". So far Zope versions just slipped into  
unsupported state by some implied - but unstated - consensus.

Clearly, it's impossible to support all these versions from 2.8 to  
2.12, +1 from me for dropping 2.8 and 2.9. Just make sure this is  
mentioned somewhere obvious.
