That gives developers like those from > zope half a year time to prepare. I think that's only fair. The zope developers have *HAD* half a year to prepare and they've still made zero serious progress. And even in this thread, people are saying that once Zope supports it that's not enough and that there is still plone and who knows how long that will be. And what about when we move to python 2.6? We've then dug the hole that "well, we'll do compat shims so that you don't have to keep up" and someone has to do it again. Compat packages are a crutch that massively magnify the amount of effort required to support a distribution and that never goes away.
