Could we go ahead and move the Zope2 trunk back to 'extends ztk.cfg w/
the minimal possible deltas", instead of the current "keep ourselves to
ourselves" state?  It would be even better if that meant that Grok and
BlueBream would walk the tightrope with Zope2, and give up the relative
safety of a  pinned revision of ztk.cfg on their own trunks, sharing
instead with the Zope2 trunk a "white knuckle grip" on the contents  of
zopetoolkit/trunk/ztk.cfg until we can get ZTK to a release.

I believe that the three of you are ideal as representatives of the
major downstream consumers of the ZTK.  I hope that your triumvirate can
converge quickly on a process of achieving consensus on the maximal set
of shared package versions between the projects.
