I agree.  I don't see a good third solution myself.

It would be good to have a koha 2.2_legacy roadmap with a 'We will
stop supporting koha-2.2 when:' section, which includes 'either zebra
is bundled with koha-3.0 or there is a non-zebra koha-3.0' as a
condition.

Also, I think that I need to stop dithering and work on 2.2 (which
most of my customers use) instead of trying to follow both 2.2 and 3.0
and not really succeeding with 3.0 because I can't IRC at US and NZ
times any more and the docs don't really seem to be there yet.  Most
of the stuff I want to do (move parts from install.pl to Makefile.PL)
should be portable to 3.0 when it nears release anyway.

Hope that helps,
