OK, that was the original intent of the 'nouvelle' bit.  One thing I am 
slightly worried about is adding the dependency on Epoz;  we might need 
to think about how we degrade gracefully in it absence.

I think so.  I never really understood what the use cases were for 
'Revision 2' :).

Forks suck.  Although this isn't an intentional fork, over time it will 
take on aspects of one (e.g., bugs fixed in the Zope version but not in 
CMF).  Can we wrap it up in a conditional import, so that we reuse the 
2.7 version if it is present?  Then at least the bitrot that the fork 
incurs will be resolvable by upgrading Zope.

+1.
