No. We have the "PLIP: Update Zope Dependencies #1351" (Plone Improvement Proposal) https://github.com/plone/Products.CMFPlone/issues/1351 This includes upgrade to latest ZODB. You can use the PLIP-configuration file and change the configuration to use ZODB 5/Relstorage 2. It should work, if not we are happy to get plenty of bug-reports. https://github.com/plone/buildout.coredev/blob/5.1/plip-zope4.cfg Upgrading Plone to latest Zope and Python3 is also a declared strategic goal in the Plone Roadmap. We will first go Zope 4 and then Python 3 because of our large code base. The PLIP was accepted long time ago by the Framework-Team for Plone 6. After the Alpine City Sprint 3 weeks ago we managed to make current Plone 5 run on latest Zope 4. After the sprint we had about 16 failing tests left, now with good work from David Glick and others we are down to zero failing tests. The next sprint on this topic is the Zope 2 Recurrection Sprint in Halle (Saale)/ Germany organized by Gocept beginning of May. https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/Zope-Sprint/events/237672812/ It focuses more on pushing Zope 4 to Python 3 than on Plone, but it is very important for Plone too. I'll be there! Join us! The rough plan is to have at least an alpha release of Zope 4 out soonish. We are optimistic to get a Plone 6 alpha based on this Zope 4 alpha out before or at Plone Conference in Barcelona in October. Plone 6 will mainly focus on changes under the hood, so I believe it is possible.
