Big fat -1 from me.  ZODB is independent of Zope.  There's nothing wrong
with Zope Corp being responsible for a half-dozen top-level namespaces
instead of one.  (However, I do think things like Persistent and
Transaction ought not to be top-level.  From my POV, it makes sense to
put them under the ZODB package.)
