+1 to retiring 2.8, 2.9. Of course, if people still want to maintain it, they should be welcome to. I just don't think we should have to merge bugfixes to those branches anymore. Maintaining 2.10, 2.11, trunk seems perfectly acceptable and it's plenty to deal with. _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
