I wonder if a fraction of the effort put into building up a parallel
python branch was put into fixing Zope to work with modern python...
would we still be worried about compat-python?

There is a good chance that we'll be looking at Python 3 in a coming
Fedora release, so Zope will be two major python releases backwards, now
seems like a great time for interested parties to work towards getting
Zope working with Python 2.6 (at least).
