Here's one of the reasons I want good packaging:  I'd like to  
continue using Zope-the-technology even if the Zope-the-brand loses  
all recognition.   Whether in the future I'm working on  
DjangoRailsGears 3.0 or Zope3006 or Plone-NG, I'd like to be able to  
carry the various bits of technology that make up Zope around with me  
reasonably easily and run it under different Python platforms.  I say  
this with my cynical and Zope-bigoted "consultant" hat on.  There.  I  
said it. ;-)
