Good eye!  That looks right.  It appears I plain forgot that 3.5.1 final had
already been released when the two "3.5.1b3" entries got added, so wrote the
blurbs as if they _would_ appear in 3.5.1b3.  Such things happen when you're
juggling half a dozen branches; for penance, I'll fix this one ;-)

Maybe it's not all that obvious in this case: NEWS.txt on the 3.5 branch
is talking about a 3.5.1b3 release which, according to the existing tags
and the NEWS.txt on the 3.5.1 tag, never happened. Should the concerned
changes be re-labelled 3.5.2b1?

Hm. To me, this would mean to get rid of the test suites in
src/ZODB/tests and move checks which they do but the test suites in
src/persistent/tests don't do to the latter. I'll have a go at that
later in the week.

Oh, I meant "old" as in "telling about old changes", not "having been
read a long time ago".

That's what I'd do after thinking about it some more, anyway.

I could also offer my buildbot slave on a Linux 2.4 Debian testing if
that's of any interest. It's currently running tests for the Zope3 trunk.
