I'm actually willing to abandon the "big tree" altogether, unless somebody comes up with a clever way to automate it from some Z2-specific KGS index. I think the canonical "source install" would be something like a tarball of a buildout tree, with the 'download-cache' directory already populated (maybe).
Judging by the awesome lack of interest in a Zope 3 big tree release, and observing that Zope 2 is going down a similar eggification path I see no reason to keep a big tree for Zope 2 long term.
Note that I have a script in zope.release that can update a big tree. The Zope 3.4 release will feature an update of that tree. Now that I have this script, I can use it for future releases, but we'll probably fade it out soon. (I just feel really bad not providing a migration path; note that people working with Zope 3.3 have probably never seen an egg-based release.)
