Yes. This was suggested by the Zope 2 release manager, Andreas Jung, two months ago: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2005-October/025554.html. Of course, other people are still welcome to backport fixes to the 2.8 branch and make releases themselves, but I suspect neither Andreas nor the Zope 2 developers will have the bandwidth to maintain more than three concurrent branches (Zope 2.9, Zope 2.10 and the trunk at that time). > I think for those of us deploying Zope on an enterprise scale it will > be pretty hard to do upgrades this frequently. I think one year is a pretty big span. Today, for example, you would not start a project on Zope 2.8. You would do it with Zope 2.9 which is going to get bugfixes until the end of 2006.
