I don't have anything in particular. I'd like to get the zc.page form
machinery working with Five eventually. It shouldn't be hard, except for
the Python 2.4 requirement... (decorators), which makes it hard until 
Zope 2.x catches up.

Agreed.

I'll believe Zope 3.1 is released when I see it. :)

Since Five exposes a fairly well controlled subset of Zope X3.0 to Zope 
2, I expect porting code over to Zope 3.1 is fairly easy.

I'd expect though that except if you're really bleeding edge, we target 
Zope X3.0 for any Five releases for Zope 2.8.

I am hoping to get Zope 3.1 included in Zope 2.9. Gah, these version 
numbers make me dizzy. :)
