setuptools replaces that evil magic with its own! But at least you do have  
to specify which eggs you will be using. There's no longer a folder which  
will magically add any modules in it to sys.path. Now, as long as you  
declare the egg in buildout and add it to site.zcml and configure the egg  
correctly you're sorted. Maybe it's the five:loadProducts stuff in  
site.zcml that's keeping us tied to Products. A namespace change isn't  
that important and probably is a lot of fairly uninteresting work for  
little perceived gain.
