The work to make it "acceptable" for Zope 2.8 is the very same work  
needed to make it the required version for Zope 2.9. IMHO you don't  
want to do this right in the middle of the 2.8 release cycle.

If people need to test for bugs with their software under 2.4, that's  
what the 2.9 alpha/beta cycle is for.
