The framework as a whole should not straddle versions. Just as we drop
backwards incompatibility for Zope 4 and then Zope 5 and then Zope 6,
etc, in one of these moves we drop backwards incompatibility by moving
from Python 2 to Python 3. That in fact is probably a good reason for
a new release all by itself. :-)

The same thing goes for Plone. Once Zope X does the move, Plone Y
does. Only the packages and products for Plone should need to straddle
versions.
