I guess it needs talking about.  Given that 2.7 is now almost two
releases back, keeping BBB code around for its benefit on the trunk of
PAS seems questionable (the "BBB" there is actually for 2.8-ish Zopes).
 If you want to work out a patch which would keep it compatible with
2.7, we could incorporate it, but it is not an attractive target
platform for my work.
