Cool. That's good to hear and something I really need to hear. :) I
think you'll mostly be giving the ztk.cfg a patch to make it so, as Zope
2's list is ahead with a lot of mostly bugfix versions.

Yes, such a change without such consultation was what created the
problem in december. But that was a structural change of definition --
what is *in* the ZTK, not one of which releases were in the ZTK. It had
something to do with letting the last zope.app.* dependency go from the
cluster of zope.* packages.
I'll note a short version list is not needed in order to feel that
you're shrinking dependencies. I've been using depgraph for that. I will
admit though that the longer the version list that is tested, the slower
the tests and buildout run, of course, so that may be a concern for some
(but how heavy should it weigh?). Could be something for the release
managers to flesh out the balance between things.
We haven't had the opportunity to have conflicts about specific releases
yet ("I want zope.interface 4.3!" "no! 4.5!"). I think it's not a very
big issue until someone starts doing a big dependency refactoring again
- but that again is a structural issue, not a version issue.

Martijn
