For long term stability and maintainability I would strongly recommend rewriting your application to remove ZClasses. Depending on your application(s) this can be a non-trivial task, but once it is done you can return to standard zope releases. This is a business risk/reward situation: how important are the ZClass apps to your business? Can you afford to have them stop working? Are willing to maintain your own ZClass patches (Dieter has provided a starting point, but what if Dieter "gets hit by a bus")? I have rewritten ZClass apps twice now, and it can be a serious PITA, but the peace-of-mind, ongoing product stability and maintainability was well worth it.
