zope-common is really usable on for Zope2: nobody uses "instances" for the
zope3 stack anymore. Maybe we should make a new upload to zope-common do
remove support for the zope3 stack (which will be removed from unstable
very soon, as a monolithic package).

I don't see any problem in uploading zope2.12 as soon as it is fine, but
I'm not going to maintain it alone, that's sure. :)

It is possible, are you going to commit yourself to maintain it? That would
be great: I'm not a zope2 consumer anymore, so it is quite pointless for me
to maintain it.

Thanks.
