I don't agree.  We had a separate respository in the past, and that merely
led to dead products.  Of course, when Zope 3 stops changing so fast, this
will become less of an issue.

I think that this confusion will be reduced by having package meta data
that shows a packages's status.  Fred is working this out now.
