Is there any CMS/CMF built on Zend Framework 2 yet? [closed]

I have worked a little in the past on Zend Framework, and now I have to do it again, and since there's a new release of Zend Framework 2, I was wondering what would boost my new project. So I have some questions like:

  • Is it better to start with Zend Framework 2?
  • Is it better to start with a CMS/CMF based on Zend Framework? (to boost the project startup process)
  • If so, what are the CMS/CMF based on (or willing to upgrade to) Zend Framework 2?

PS: throughout my research I have found and categorized some CMS/CMF based on Zend:

  • Famous but relatively old (probably abandoned, I'm not sure)
    • TomatoCMS (my favorite of this category, uses jQuery)
    • Digitalus CMS
    • PimCore
  • Newer (probably still active)
    • ZF-Boilerplate (currently working on a version for Zend Framework 2)
    • Centurion (my favorite of this category, uses jQuery, CRUD and supports social identification. I might be leaning a little towards it)

Finally, I probably mention that my project goes under the CMS category and considered mid-sized.

Waiting your opinions, especially if anyone has already worked with TomatoCMS, Centurion or Zend Framework 2.

Updated:

I know that there's a related question "CMS built on Zend Framework" but it does not answer all of my questions.

Of course it is worth starting with Zend Framework 2.0 if You are doing a new project cause eventually the code will be cleaner and many new used features will make your development easier.

As far as I know, there aren't yet any known CMS, which has moved to ZF2 or a CMS, that has been built from zero - after all only 3 weeks have passed since the release of the stable.

Usually the cost of upgrading >=middle-sized applications from ZF1 to ZF2 is too big, as the logic is quite different.

Although some tests show that ZF2 responds 4 times slower than ZF1, eventually after some optimizations and updates, I am sure it will become even better, so its a good investment to start with ZF2.
