An outsider's take: I would strongly urge that a release-by-year-end
Plone4 use Zope 2.12. There is no compelling technical reason to hold
off, and plenty of time to test and iron out any issues. Staying
up-to-date gets you a migration path to a Python version (2.6) which
will be supported for a reasonable time frame (2.4 is effectively out of
support now; 2.5 is at the end of its support life). It will also
allow Plone to use the fully eggified Zope, and rip out lots of
workarounds ("fake eggs", anyone).
