My personal opionion: the Zope developers don't care much about release dates (that the "it's done when it is done" attitiude - good or bad...). Therefore we can not and won't care much about the release dates and requirements of each single distribution. The other question: are Plone packages included with some Linux distribution important for attracting people to Plone. My opionion: no. It's nice having OFTB support for Plone and Zope on the distros but the Zope and Plone packages raised more problems for serious Zope/Plone users in the past than they actually solved. Serious installations usually install their own Python, Zope & Plone from the sources or using zc.buildout nowadays (this approach is supported by the Zope and Plone developers).
