FWIW, I'm sad too and I share your same reservations about how Plone is
distributed.

My fault, I wanted to write 2.11 (which is the current stable release,
as today). Sorry for the wrong number.

I don't exclude to support Zope 2.x again in Debian and Ubuntu, but I
really think that in this moment dropping the packages is the best
solution: we will finally be able to drop python2.4.
For Plone, after 5 years of maintenance in Debian, I'm sure that *not*
having an official package (eg. included in Debian stable) is the best
option for our users.
