I think it's okay to call it 4.0. While it's not incompatible, it will 
have major practical differences in usage. We should also have better 
documentation at that point. :)

We'll also need to see what Gary's underlying refactoring work comes up 
with. It's quite possible it won't land in time or it'll be done outside 
of zope.component, but who knows.

We can delay the final decision nearer to the actual release of these 
features.
