FWIW - for a long time I've wished that we could just stop 
expending energy on this and just call them packages as a 
general term. Yes, package is a term that has a specific 
meaning in Python - the same is true in Java, yet somehow 
people manage to grok the distinction between 'package' used 
as a general term and the concrete concept of a Java package.

As for products.zcml -- why not just call it register.zcml? That's 
what you're doing, no matter what you call the things you are 
registering.
