Actually Pylons has just gone in legacy mode.
This means just that instead of having Pylons2.0 (which was intended
to be a rewrite of pylons) we will have Pyramid.

But Pylons1.0 will continue to exist. It won't get new features, but
will be bug-fixed.
New features will be demanded to higher levels frameworks that work
over pylons, like TG.

Personally I got to "hate" Zope (it was the reason that caused me to
switch from Python to RoR for web development long time ago) and I
have a strange feeling about Pyramid. They technically did an
excellent job and It is indeed a really good project but to me it
"smells bad", like a dish that I might recognize that it is well made
but I really don't like how it tastes :D
TG has been the first framework that made my say "woah! This is
exactly how a web framework should be!" and so personally I'll be
commited to maintaining and improving it for long time.

I think that if Pylons someday won't fit TG anymore for any kind of
reason we will have to take a decision without breaking compatibility
with existing applications, but this will be far away in the future as
currently the Pylons team is still maintaining Pylons itself.
