The jump to Zope 3 is a huge one, and it is no surprise that existing
CMS's have not yet made it.  I personally believe that the Zope 3
architecture is very compelling, and we are trying to leverage some of
that for Plone.  If you want to see an actual CMS implemented fully in
Zope 3 you many want to look at Tiks, http://www.tiks.org/ .  A large
non-CMS application making use of Zope 3 is SchoolTool.  There are
many resources on the net describing the features and advantages of
Zope 3.
