Our plan is to support two versions of Zope in stable, one from the 2.x
serie and one for the 3.x serie. To make it clear, zope2.10 and zope3 are
in fact two different frameworks, and applications written for the former
won't run in the latter (eg. Plone runs on zope 2.10 and not on zope 3).

Actually, we still need zope2.9 in the archive because there are packages
(eg. zenoss, sitting in the new queue) which are not compatible with
zope2.10. We are working with upstream to solve the issues and we'll make
sure that lenny will release with just one version of the zope2.x serie and
one from the zope3 serie.

The biggest problem right now is that none of the zope versions run with
python2.5. I've started digging into the problem, but I don't know when
this issue will be solved.

I plan to write an announce for debian-devel-announce with our goals, plans
and expectations for the lenny release.

Have a nice day,
