Well said. I couldn't agree more.  That's why ZC continues to
spend lots of time maintaining and enhancing Zope 2.  It's why I
see many Zope 2 releases ahead and why, every time I speak to
large groups of people, I tell people not to feel a need to
rush to Zope 3.  There is absolutely no intention to make the
mistakes of other projects to have an untested new version
replace an established new version prematurely.
