[Zope-dev] Any thoughts on when Zope 2.7 beta1 might be available?

In my experience this works fine.  The reason this isn't officially
supported by Zope Corporation is that we haven't had time to
thoroughly evaluate this combination, so you should indeed cross your
fingers, but I don't expect there's anything that would be a
showstopper for you.  If you find problems, please report them here so
they can be fixed in Zope 2.7!
