I'll note, FWIW, that we don't do installs from Zope 3 checkouts. I think it's worth asking whether this is an important requirement. If it is, then we should make it work. Question is, is it worth delaying the release? I don't know.
I think it's an important requirement; many of us have done this dance for years. The reason I'd suspect this got done by Chris M was to ease our pains we'd had to work around over time and make it easier for people coming into the Zope Community - or their support staff (i.e. Admins) I can't answer the last question, but it seems to apparent that it's important and expected behavior by lots of people in the community.
If we did stay with the current situation, we'd need to cleanup the documentation so that a developer can easily reminder herself what she can do and how to do it.
If it's indeed *easy* and clear, that should be ok. It just needs to work sensibly :) So many of us are used to the ./configure; make; make install dance.
