Ok. I then won't apply the existing patch until
a) your zipfile patch comes along to review, or
b) significant time has passed after 2.3a1 (for some reasonable value
   for "significant")

IOW, it would be fine for me if 2.3a1 does not have zipfile import,
but I think it must be distributed with 2.3 final (and the betas
before it).
