While we're wishing, let's wish for Interface, too.  :)

Are there any other such packages that external developers are using?  I 
totally don't mind rearrangement and renaming of things that are already 
under the 'Zope' top-level package; it's the things that are outside that 
I'm already using.  The only reason I'm okay with 'Persistence' moving 
under 'zodb' is that I'm *not* widely using Persistence yet, and it's only 
my personal bugfix version of ZODB4 Persistence.  So I already have to deal 
with deployment issues for it.
