For me, second approach is more clear but even simple README.txt,
located at new project's folder, with description of next steps, should
be enough.

Would be nice to have this kind of description, especially
that a lot of people is not familiar with Paste (I think so). For
example I was looking for something like zopectl start|stop|restart. I
don't know so far how to do it (I did not read Paste docs yet - do I
really have to? ;) ).

Good to know that I'm not alone with this :)

One more thing that is rather about 'death to zope instances' not
zopeproject itself is that that so far it was possible and easy to have
one Zope serving few different apps. With new way seems that instance is
bound to application.
This may be a pain if you have to pay for hosting. Usually there are
serious restrictions to number of long running processes (like Zope) you
may have (e.g. Webfaction hosting).
