Dear FTPMasters,

zope-zms should be removed from the archive. While newer upstream
versions do exist, nobody steps up to maintain zope-zms in Debian. The
currently packaged version in Debian is probably incompatible to
zope2.12 from the archive, and not installable due to #566136.

Greetings,
 jonas
