I always understood the decision as "Zope 2.7 will officially support
Python 2.2".  I don't think it's wise to change that to "Zope 2.7 will
*only* support Python 2.2".  Since Zope 2.5 and 2.6 *only* support
Python 2.1, that would tie a Zope upgrade to a Python upgrade.  I
don't think that's a good idea.  We already have a planned Zope
release that will *require* Python 2.2(.1, actually): Zope 3.
