In this case, though, we have three points in the migration:

1) It's a rewrite.

2) It's a new API.

3) There's a new database format.

Obviously (2) is the big one.  Since the Zope 2 API isn't supported in 
Zope 3, many people (me included) will consider it more than the 
traditional "rev the major version number" upgrade.

Back to Kai's points, I think he validates some of the concerns listed 
in the wiki under risk factors.  Is there any serious interest in 
discussing risk management, vis a vis Kai's email?
