I understand that Jim won't have time to do these until mid-april. Is
it absolutely impossible to ship a beta which is 'non optimized' or
something? I mean, we got Silva and Plone running on Zope 2.8..

Do some of these have something to do with a change to Python 2.4, by
the way? It's a bit unclear to me what version of Python this release is
targetting.
