OK I'm fine with this, then. So to reiterate, we are asking for (I 
forgot 3.2 in the previous list):

       Framework :: Plone :: 3
       Framework :: Plone :: 3.2
       Framework :: Plone :: 3.3
       Framework :: Plone :: 4
       Framework :: Plone :: 4.0
       Framework :: Plone :: 4.1
       Framework :: Plone :: 4.2
       Framework :: Plone :: 4.3
