This is a really really good point ;-)
I think unification is probably a good idea, but not yet...

Even so, I'd much prefer to see Z3 stay "light" of Zope 2 and just have 
Zope 2 become smaller and smaller as it leverages more and more of Zope 3.

Put differently, I have no problem with the repositories merging, but 
I'd like to see the bits of Zope 3 seperately available, without Z2. I 
know ZPT and testbrowser already work like that, and the more that works 
like that the better...
