[Zope-Coders] Towards 2.6

[Brian Lloyd]

Florent (and Chris and Shane et. al.),

While I agree with the need to fix these things, the intent is 
that there are no changes between final beta and final release.

These can go into a 2.6.1 to follow as soon after as it needs 
to, but we really need to get this release out. As the person 
who routinely gets beaten up both for the release taking too
long _and_ for it failing to contain peoples pet fixes and changes 
(sometimes in the same email!), I'm obligated to draw a line 
at some point and get this thing out.

Please don't take that as being unappreciative of your efforts - 
we just have to have a cutoff at some point.
