Why does the egg in the subject line exist
Because somebody made it and uploaded it to download.zope.org. It probably happened during the initial eggification period when we didn't have a solid release process [1].
and why does buildout pick it over a stable release?
Because buildout, like easy_install, will pick the newest available version for a distribution. Fortunately, buildout has a prefer-stable option so that you can tell it to prefer stable over alpha/beta/dev releases. Also, in any serious situtation you'd want to pin your versions, e.g. using the KGS [2] or a manual list. [1] http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Sandbox/philikon/foundation/releasing-softwar...
