I think that sounds reasonable, but out of interest: What are your 
specific reasons?

Nope, because the zope2 pages need to interact with the zope3 pages, and 
call widget macros and so on, so all page statements must use the same 
base. A page created with a <five:page> directive would not be able to 
use zope3 widgets, while a <browser:page> directive using Zope3 ZPTs can 
not use the design of a CMF site.

Zope2 page templates just makes CMF integration a hundred gazillion 
times easier, so if you really need Zope3 templates, we probably should 
have a configuration statement to say which type is to be used.
