You need to evaluate how much value CMF gives you. I think a lot of CMF sites 
could be done without CMF.

I18n/L10n is native to Zope 3. In fact, the Translation Service idea came from 
Zope 3.

No, there are not many CMS-extensions in Zope 3 yet.

There is a little bit of documentation on how to convert a simple product in 
my book. However, I would strongly suggest you learn Zope 3 a bit and see how 
you can adjust the design of your application to Zope 3. Zope 3 is much 
cleaner in design and I think any existing Zope 2 application could profit 
from it.

I think the performance is the same; maybe Zope 3 is a bit faster since not 
that much stuff is included in it yet.
