+1

Since it doesn't make sense to mark five.formlib and zope.app.* as 
deprecated, it would be helpful to announce that ZTK and Zope 2 
maintainers will no longer support these packages after Zope 2.12.3.

+1 for shipping Zope 2.12.3 with five.formlib

-1 for adding new deprecation warnings in a bugfix release

Why not following the normal procedure? At some point in the past we 
decided to add formlib support to Zope 2. That's a commitment. We should 
not drop features just like that.

Zope 2.13 can still have the "runs on ZTK" label if it ships with 
additional packages.
