I am currently maintaining the Zope releases, so the plan currently =
looks like the following:

* Zope 2.13 gets security fixes and maybe contributed bugfixes as long =
as there is a Plone version which supports it.
  The last Plone version supporting Zope 2.13 is Plone 5.1. Currently =
the last two major releases of Plone are officially supported.
  So with the final release of Plone 7 there is no more need for Zope =
2.13 support. (Plone 5.2 is going to its beta stage now.)

* Zope 4 is the successor of Zope 2.13 supporting both Python 2.7 and =
Python 3.
  I plan to have a final release this year. Zope 4 is already stable =
enough to use it. union.cms is running live on Zope 4.0b8 for a quite =
large installation.

* Zope 4 will not be a long-term supported release. We are planning to =
start working on Zope 5 in 2020. Zope 5 will drop Python 2 support and =
deprecated functions and imports.
  This means the code in Zope which is currently needed to support =
Python 2 will be removed, so it actually cannot be run on Python 2 at =
all.

* So Zope 4 is the release to should jump on to get the train to Zope 5 =
and to al long-term supported release running on Python 3.

I think a should write this thoughts into a blog post, maybe this will =
reach a broader audience.
