OK, I agree with that.  Now, ZODB must be a *namespace* package, according
to my "namespace" vs "module" package distinction.  I'd even like it to be
possible to have multiple zodb directories on the Python path that get merged to
create a single logical zodb package.

It would be nice if the transaction package could be a tlp.  I think we could
be clode to agreement on this within the persistence sig, although I think that
Phillip, Jeremy and I have some things to hash out wrt transactions.
