Well I need ZODB 3.3, and I'm not currently using PEAK at all right 
now, so I could care less about PEAK persistence.  Does ZODB4 even work 
reliably?  There hasn't been a release in over 6 months.  Any estimate 
of how much work it would be to get PEAK and ZODB 3.3 to play along?  
Is persistence support easily separable from PEAK?
