Only 2.2.2, if so;  the ExtensionClass coredump with 2.2.1 is a total
showstopper otherwise.  In reality, 2.1.3 is the only supported 2.1.x
version, as well, for similar reasons.

If we are to declare support for Python 2.2.2 in Zope 2.6, we need
confirmation from all the parties affected by that problem that 2.2.2b1
solves the problem on *their* platforms (as the problem doesn't even
rear its nasty head on the platform I use every day).  We also need some
brave souls to start running 2.6b1 on 2.2.2b1 under production loads,
and over non-trivial uptimes.
