With the big changes you propose for Zope 2, some existing projects/deployments will stay stuck with Zope 2.13 (or Zope 2.X if Zope trunk is not released as Zope 2.14). Long-term maintenance for Zope 2.13 would give these projects/deployments at least a few more years. > Going forward I can see two paths for Zope 2.
