To be clear:  what is missing is the pure-Python reference implementation
of the spacesuit proxies:  without having that in place, passing the same
tests as the C version, and at 100% statement coverage, I'm not convinced
the Py3k port is "correct" (even though the C version passes all its
existing tests under Py3k).  Essentially, I rushed the Py3k port in order
not to block others working on porting dependents.

I have relevant experience in the zope.proxy port that doing the
reference implementation actually uncovers bugs in the C implementation.

AFAIK, the remaining test failures on Py33 are largely spurious (doctest
repr issues, or else are pending the fork to use 'zodbpickle'.

Packages which are still bleeding-edge themselves should be OK with
pinning non-final releases of their dependencies.
