I have first hand experience with Zope 2.10 and Python 2.4. Nightmare.

In my case, I use products like ZWIKI, that doesn't work on new
releases of Zope. Tens of thousands of wikipages by the way. That is,
this is not my "messy code" but depending of a product unmaintained
and incompatible with new Zope releases.

Currently I run two zope instances: Zope 2.13 for most of my web and
Zope 2.10 for the wikis, mapped thru the apache front end.

Ugly hack I dislike deeply. I have to decide if adopting zwiki myself
(puf, puf, busy and uninteresting :-( ) or just drop Zope and migrate
an enormous web to something else.

Sure you can feel my pain, but this is offtopic :-).

Python 2.7 ends its usual 5-year cycle support in 2015. After that, I
would suggest source releases only, security+build fixes only, until
thermal dead of the universe. Or until downloads < 1% of 3.x downloads
(and hide it a bit in the main page, so newbies don't have any doubt
about which version to download).
