Indeed, I count three open issues, all related to test.py
(http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/2121 and the two it links to).
Sounds like there's only one real issue behind them (wrong test.py).

I disagree, but in the end it's your, Andreas's and whoever-else's call
as to how the risk of switching in between minor releases is weighed
against the number of problems we have with zpkg.

There *are* significant semantic differences between a zpkg checkout and
the one you produced, as pointed out by my other email a minute ago.
