With the exception of MailHost (which got a zope.sendmail based refactoring) none of these products have seen any non-cosmetic changes in the past five years. So if you are looking for ongoing development and improvements, you were in the wrong place for a while now. If you are looking for stable and non-changing code, you'll get that. All of these products work with the last Python 2 version (2.7) so there should be some years ahead in which they'll work unchanged. I wouldn't expect any of them to be ported to Python 3 anymore, though. But in the end that is up to the users of these products - there's just no magic community around anymore that will work on them for you. But that's been true for Zope 2 at large for some years now.
