I agree on this.  Also, I think "Products" is the wrong name for the 
directory.  It should be called "Packages", or better yet, "packages", 
because that's what it contains.

Leave "lib/python/Products" for the place where old Zope2 stuff lives, IMO.

Of course this starts the ball rolling on discussion of package 
management, which is likely to be quite important but a big scope 
expansion on Zope3.  We can't ask the current team to shoulder that 
burden.  Instead, we need to bring in some of the people willing to 
collaborate, refine, and propose.
