ZPatterns in general has been user-supported for some years now.  All the 
ZPatterns applications that Ty and I support are still running on earlier 
Zope versions, using Python 1.5.2.

Me either.  :)

Could be.  I've previously built PEAK with the 2.3 alpha and beta releases 
on Linux though, without problems.  I haven't built it with 2.3 final, 
though.  I'll give it a try when I have the chance; it may not be today, 
however.  (2.2.2 is the Python version we currently use for production 
apps, apart from our old Zopes.)
