I apologies jumping to conclusion too quick, and totally forget about setting
DEPRECATED thing.  I agree to set it as an official announcement, and we can
wait another month, I believe this is the final time of postpone.

miwi has written a mail to estartu at augusta.de, I am not sure about if
skreuzer (CC'd)
know this plan.

www/zope and www/zope211 can also be set deprecated, how about net/honeyd?
can it work with newer Python?  I looked at the project site, it seems moved to
somewhere else.

I think we don't have a exact plan to remove 2.5 currently, do we?

I agree to remove python24, and not object to remove python25, newer
google-appengine
can run with python27 and I would like to use python27 to develop new
system, and
users have python25 apps deployed are not affected.  Is there anybody
still using
develop/maintaining systems with python25 on appengine?

You are the Zope expert!

We do, too.  Do you have a plan for updating www/zope to 2.13?  BTW,
what's the status of
BlueBream?

Thanks,
