On the naming, I agree with dropping the 3. The risk with dropping the X is that we might make people think there is now Zope2 backwards compatibility. But there is a risk with NOT dropping it as well. And that is that we don't know how the Zope2 compatibility will look or work, and some even su

Hey, I think the most sane would be: Zope 2.8 -> Zope 2.9 -> Zope 2.x, for however many iterations it's necessary. Zope 2 will grow some Zope 3 forward compatibility with Five, but this depends on Five contributors. Right now, we're doing fairly well and we hope this keeps up. Zope X3.0 -> Zope

Hi there, This was previously hidden in a message on certification, so I'll extract it here, since I think it's worth at least some discussion since Zope X3.1 is coming up. That's my first point; can we just please call it, tag it, branch it, as Zope-X3.1, not ZopeX3-3.1(.0)? Why do we need to
