First, I'm not in a hurry to move anything.
See my response to David.

*Eventually*, I'd like to see most of these managed as separate
distributions to shorten release cycles, so any of these are
candidates for moving.  ZODB might be the last, or never move.

Sadly, I also see this as a (long-term) opportunity to remove the
"Z" anti-brand. whimper.

Yup.

NEO raises a thorny issue because of it's license.
I'd prefer to include only packages with open licenses.
(Sorry, I don't want to pick a fight, but the GPL is just
too restrictive.) I wouldn't include ZRS either.

I'd also like to control what goes into this namespace,
to assure some level of quality and compatibility. I don't
necessarily need to do this by myself, although I'm
willing to be a BD.
