Requiring 2.3 (any flavor) would allow us to drop the copy of the
logging package from Zope 2.7 and newer.

There are greater benefits for Zope 3, where we have several modules
and packages laying around that would no longer be needed (logging,
csv, gettext).

I also don't know that we should consider 2.3.1 "acceptable" for any
version of Zope.
