I don't think this is a bugfix :)

Since you're denoting this as a "current version number", do I take it
that you're planning on changing the way Zope 2.9 and 2.10 releases are
created as well? I would consider egg-based deployment a feature; at
least it's a big enough change that I'd be worried for it to occur in a
maintenance release.

After all, zpkg *does* work and the way zpkg-based releases are
installed *is* documented (hence protest against this being a bugfix).
It just gives some people headaches (which is why I'm +1 to the overall
idea).
