[Zope] Does anyone care whether we deprecate ZClasses?

I doubt that that is the case.

Are you saying you want them in 2.10 but not necessarily beyond that (e.g. 2.11)?
Or that you don't see why we don't support them indefinately?

It takes effort to support old features.  We have to weigh the benefits
against the cost of the feature.  For example, Zope 2.8 has been delayed
substantially due to the effort to keep them going.  If people find them
useful, then we can keep them, but we don't want to keep them otherwise.
