We must be careful with such time-based policies because of the 
installed (Plone) installations. Zope 2.8 and Zope 2.9 are definitely 
dead horses. We must support Zope 2.10 (which is a pretty good release) 
as long as Plone 3.X is supported. Let's say Plone 4 becomes mature in 
late 2009 and widely used by 2010...then we can talk about getting rid 
of 2.10 (except the Plone releases >= 3.2 would adopt Zope 2.11 or 2.12
at some point but I haven't heard that this is on the agenda for the 
next Plone 3.X releases).
