+1.  I tagged 'ZODB-3.4.4' and 'Zope-3.0.2-Zope-2.8' "releases"
yesterday for internal consumption of the Zope 2.8 branch.  I don't
expect to make actual releases from those tags, but I like having them
there.

As we move to a more fine-grained package architecture (i.e., egg-based
Zope "districbutions"), we are going to have to do more "releases
management" of the individual pieces which make up Zope.  Keeping the
changelog current will be a bit of a chore, but is essential in a
packageing-driven maodel (just as with RPM / .deb packaging).
