0. I don't care which one goes in first, as long as they both go in. IMO
neither one has any inherent priority. However, yours won't go in as
long as there isn't a PR for it. Would you like me make one and submit
it for you?

1. I just rechecked, and I didn't even bump PORTREVISION, so there won't be
a patch conflict. I raised a false alarm. Sorry.

2. PORTREVISION is the change-counter for the port itself. Has nothing
to do with the source-package's version.

3. My patches don't affect Zope.

The current version of python should own the /usr/local/bin/python
binary. Zope is the only other package that actually needs python21.

I agree regarding the danger; that's why I'm patching the old versions
of python to not do that.
