Do you really want products and extensions in VARDIR? To me they feel
more like configuration, and less like data.

My preference:

XXX/etc/zope/INSTANCE/Products    : containing symlinks to
XXX/lib/zope/AllZopeProducts      : containing products

My second preference:

XXX/lib/zope/INSTANCE/Products    : containing products

But I really dont like:

XXX/var/zope/INSTANCE/Products    : containing products
