Do you think there is trouble outside of the Python 2.1 issue?  It'd be
a little annoying, but I'm okay with it -- when I compare it to writing
Z SQL methods, porting SQLObject to 2.1 seems quite enjoyable ;)

2.2 has been out for so very long that I don't know what to make of Zope
not supporting it.

I don't know, I'm not entirely sold on the idea.  I'm just trying to
make my Zope 2 development time more pleasant, because I'm not enjoying
it very much.  It's all strictly procedural programming (no OO), and I
feel like the way we're using the database has a lot to do with that. 
So SQLObject seemed like a nice starting point.

Well, all my Zope work is strictly professional.  Certainly when X3
comes around I'll be pushing strongly for the place I'm working for to
use it for new projects, and I wouldn't even dismiss the possibility
that Zope could convert me in the process, but I don't know that I want
to wait for that.  

Before X3 I am probably going to be pushing them to use something other
than Zope, but that may or may not go anywhere.  In my non-professional
work (where Zope 3 would currently have to live) I'm more interested in
other Python web stuff besides Zope.  But I'd certainly support making
SQLObject and Zope 3 work together.
