There is not a ZopeProducts area in the repository. Add-on products should
go there. (This is actually a link to Products3).

BTW, It's likely that many packages that are currently in the Zope 3 tree
will be movd into add-on products before the final release. Franky, I'm
not too concerned about what's in or out at this point.

That's a good point.
