-Issues
-------

-The following issues are known to exist with the current structure of
-a collection distribution:
-
-- In theory, the namespaces for different types of resources are
-  separate, so collections and packages with the same name should be
-  able to coexist.  This directory structure doesn't distinguish
-  between them, so that remains theory.  The only case we currently
-  need to deal with like this is ZODB: there is a Python package named
-  ``ZODB``, and there's a collection that contains that and a handful
-  of other packages that are normally distributed as part of a
-  separate ZODB distribution (``ZEO``, ``zLOG``, ``ZConfig``, and a
-  few others).  Given this limitation, the collection would need to
-  have a different name (``ZODB3`` comes to mind).
-
-  This isn't enough of a problem to worry about at this point; we just
-  need to keep this in mind when naming components.
