Great! I would very much prefer a solution like that.

I was referring to renaming "zope" to "zope3" or similar.

Because in general I don't like version numbers in the path. I also think that 
"zope" is the only name that is 100% right on. Everything else is a 
compromise I would try to avoid. We will be sorry about it later, when many 
more people run Zope 3 only applications.

The shortness of this example is very attractive, but it is still a compromise 
in my opinion. 

Again, I think educating is easier than anything else. People understand that 
this is due to a merge of codebases and is for a transition period only. And, 
the TTW scripter will not care.
