We will also require Python 2.4 for Zope 3.2, so feel free to use new

How did we decide this? Shouldn't we follow a proposal-based policy for
a change like this?
I would favor Python 2.4 for Zope 3.2, for two reasons:
* 2.4 has been out for a while now, and it will be out for a long time
by the time december happens. Maintaining a Zope 3.2 for two python
versions is a pain.
* zope.formlib wants Python 2.4, and I want zope.formlib to be part of
Zope 3.2.
Note that this also effects Zope 2. Starting with the next release,
the Zope 2 and Zope 3 will be released together. Zope 2.9 will
include Zope 3.2. If Zope 3.2 requires Python 2.4, then so will
Zope 2.9.
We can still go back to making Zope 2.9 contain Zope 3.1 instead. I
still favor this approach where Zope 2.x trails one version behind Zope
3.x. Working with a stable Zope 3 version makes a Five developer's life
easier, and we have less release dependencies to worry about.
And we have more Zope releases to maintain and less opportunity for
sharing applications between Zope 2 and 3. That's why I want Zope 2 to
use the current Zope 3 release.
