That was what I was thinking. It should be a tool to differentiate the 
Zope 3 codebase from the Zope 2 codebase.

I think it is very difficult to get the point across that Zope 3 is 
significantly different than Zope 2 when the only difference is a major 
version number.


It is pretty simple to argue if you know a little about Windows. Some 
might think that the different windows names are a stupid idea. A 
marketing trick. But I for one remember exactly what differentiates 
these versions of Windows.

Windows 1.0 through Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, 
Windows XP

I don't believe that anybody could remember the difference between these 
versions if it had merely been version numbers.
