I don't think the application that gets installed when people install  
from the old Z3 tarball is useful to anyone.  I propose deprecating it  
and calling it anything you want as long as you don't call it "Zope  
3", which implies a progression from Zope 2.  The parts that make it  
up, even the ZMI, are useful to people and should live on in the Zope  
Framework.
