I'm not sure that testing ZTK against the package trunks is quite the
right thing:  we have to be free to make changes to trunks while leaving
the ZTK "known good" on older, stable versions:  otherwise we might as
well[ be releasing a monolithic tarball.

For instance, there were proposals to release zope.component 4.0, with a
bunch of potentially incompatible architectural changes:  the ZTK would
need to stick with older versions until after the whole set "caught up"
with the new APIs / usage patterns.
