In what way is it cutesy?  The "Z" in ZODB doesn't mean anything other
than that it comes from the Zope project. It's just a brand.
I want to get away from "Z" names (e.g. ZODB, ZConfig, zdaemon, etc.) and
simply use packages.  The "B" in BTrees isn't like the "Z". A BTree is
a type of data structure. It doesn't make any sense to split the "B" off.
The "B" is not a brand.
