Actually, I was thinking more about Zope 4.  ;-)  My point was that for
all the interaction between Python and Zope, they're separate software
products, and I don't think the PSF should get involved in Zope version
numbers.  Just give the range to Zope and let them decide how to use it.

This IMO sets a good precedent when it comes time to hand out ranges to
other companies.
