Well, the official policy of the ZTK is still to use the 'dev' approach. 
We can't just suddenly start to use something else just like that, 
without discussion.

So, could you please follow this policy for ZTK packages in SVN?

In addition, if you are going to release to pypi, there are tools like 
zest.releaser which make doing a release in the official way a snap 
(version-bump and all).
