Another option is to put all "Zope the app server" stuff in src/zope,
and all the other potentially-reusable-outside-of-zope stuff in
packages/whatever (e.g. packages/zodb, packages/tal, etc.).  Ok, so
Zope3 would have to arrange to have both src *and* packages on
sys.path, but if you're doing one, what's two extra path components?

I was going to suggest that "packages" be spelled lib/python to make
it easy to distutils install other 3rd party packages into there
without having to install them in site-packages, but that's another
argument I'm sure I'll lose. ;)
