+1 

its probably a problem imo for mac users who are on a case insensitive
fs. 

none of the alternative seem all that appealing though.. the comment
about most z3 imports being prefixed with zope, suggests that any
backwards porting with a goal of forward compatibility will require
changing the existing z2 Zope package to something else, although
sticking version numbers on package names doesn't hold much appeal for
me. perhaps renaming z2 Zope->Core
