I think Shane has it right here. I don't think we're talking about:

  - products
  - bundles
  - packages
  - extensions
  - plugins

We're talking about parsing some ZCML so that extra stuff gets 
registered with Zope.

My suggestions is to abandon any talk of what this 'thing' is. Instead, 
rename the file:

   products.zcml -> external.zcml

and document is as being:

   Configuration for external applications.
