Thanks for committing it.

That sounds reasonable. I just wasn't aware that anyone except CMF
actually tracks Zope 2 SVN and there would be any point in waiting at
all. Unless the nightly CMF builds reported problems, I considered the
code to be stable and ready for release.

But to avoid any such issues, I'll restrain myself from doing any
further feature changes to Zope 2.12. 2.13 is closing in fast enough
and there's always a 2.14.
