Zope.org is something I don't really touch anymore; I find it awkward to 
work with, and the payoff isn't there.  The CVS sources are OK.  If I 
were to do a lot of further maintenance on the project I'd be inclined 
to move it to sourceforge, I think.

The latest CVS is always "stable" in the sense that I never left things 
checked in that were obviously busted (nonobvious bustings get called 
features, you pay more for those).  The version nomenclature was mostly 
a nod to how often I built the binaries, which isn't very often, since 
everyone asks for "can I have a binary for python X against Oracle Y on 
platform Z" and the build complexity ran up to some 21 or so 
permutations and I stopped being interested in trying to maintain a 
private build farm of those platforms.

Fortunately, everyone *except* the Windows users can build their own 
binaries.  However, I no longer have access to a Windows build 
environment (well, perhaps I have an old old version of Visual C++ if I 
ever find the CD) so I don't build binaries anymore.
