I would prefer to reserve the name 'interfaces' for Zope 3 interfaces. 
So far ZopeTestCase is the only package in Zope 2.8 that uses 
'interfaces' for Zope 2 interfaces.

Would this work: Instead of modifying Five at all, could we just add 
zcml files to the Zope 2.8 packages with Zope 2 interfaces and override 
the interfaces in Five.interfaces?

If I need to change something in Five: Do I need additional checkin 
rights on codespeak, or will my kupu login work?
