The framework as a whole should not straddle versions. Just as we drop backwards incompatibility for Zope 4 and then Zope 5 and then Zope 6, etc, in one of these moves we drop backwards incompatibility by moving from Python 2 to Python 3. That in fact is probably a good reason for a new release all by itself. :-) The same thing goes for Plone. Once Zope X does the move, Plone Y does. Only the packages and products for Plone should need to straddle versions. //Lennart _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [email protected] https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
