I agree with Jonas that any idea of giving a package named Zope2 a version number that is not 2.x is only going to lead to more confusion. For Zope2 we're used the x in 2.x.y being the major version now anyway, the next release should be 2.14. Lets stick with our convention until we have something that we really do want to promote to users outside the existing development community, I expect that will be a few years away yet.
I fully agree with that. A major version of Zope 2 is actually a minor at the version meaning, but everybody knows that for instance to switch from 2.10 to 2.11 you have to review and update your code like if it was a real major version change at the version meaning. That would be really confusing to do otherwise, since it was like that for years. I am also in favor of dropping the 2, but picking a new name would be nice, like to have 'framework x' 10 that map to Zope 2 2.10, 'framework x' to 2.11. Other products did that, Solaris, Mac OS X ... it is not strange to do so I think.
