Not really. Zope 2.12 is exactly that transitionary release defining a
KGS for everything that was included in Zope 2.11 (~3.4.1). We already
have our version of the "zopeapp" KGS with that. Everyone else is free
to reuse this KGS, but so far nobody was interested in it. It reflects
the status of zope.*/zope.app.* a couple months back. With Plone 4
based on this KGS, we are going to maintain it for the next couple of
years. It's not completely zope.app-free but close enough to make the
jump to 2.13 trivial for Zope2 projects.

The list we were maintaining together, was what I thought to be the
KGS *after* the transition period.
