Zope 2 is one application among many dependent upon zope 3. Zope 3 is different software than zope 2.

I do not argue with you that Zope3 is "different software than Zope 2". What I argue about is "Zope 2 is an application". I have seen hundreds of applications built on top of Zope 2, long before someone thought about Zope 3. I interpret this as: "Zope 2 is not an application but a web application framework". Recently some applications make not only use of Zope 2 but also of Zope 3 (prominent example is Plone 3). But Zope 2 itself is still only slightly dependent on Zope 3. -- Dieter
