While profiling a basic Zope2 + Five application this afternoon against
Zope 2.10.5, I discovered a huge performance bug in
zope.security.management.newInteraction.  It turns out that the bug had
been fixed last summer, but only on the 3.4 branch and trunk for Zope3.

I therefore cut a standalone zope.security 3.3 branch (and 3.3.3 tag)
for use in the Zope2 tree checkout.

I would like to raise awareness that "important" bugfixes for Zope3
components may need to get more love than we have been giving them:  in
particular, we may need to be prepared to backport performance-,
stability-, or security-critical fixes back to earlier versions than
those which are currently under active development:  the set of
dependents is going to be increasing, and increasingly long-lived.  As
we move to finer-grained egg releases, keeping up with these backports
should be simpler:  only the package requiring the backport should need
to be re-released.
