I am pretty sure that this will lead to two different codebases which are hard to maintain over long period of time. We should stick with Python 2.X for the time being. Otherwise we risk compatibility issues with the current deployed Zope installations. We must not jump on every train just because it stop in front of out door.I hope your "-1" is for porting to Python 3.0 in next year itself. May be we should consider it after Python 3.0 final release ? Otherwise how long will be the "time being" ? If packages like ZODB, zope.interface & zope.component is not ported that will be great loss for Python 3.0 programmers.
I am basically speaking here for the Zope 2 world. If we move core components to Python 3000 we have to move the complete Zope 2 core to Python 3000 which will cause a huge disaster because of almost every third party component is likely to break. This is a big risk for the reputation of Zope. I currently don't see how a smooth transition would look like. At the end will have Zope 2 for Python 2.X, Zope 2 for Python 3.X and Zope 3-ish components for Python 2.X and different components for Python 3.X...appears as a nightmare to me.
