I chose alternative 4 from:

   http://dev.zope.org/Zope3/RenameTheZopePackage

As that seemed to be the most popular, although I personnally
prefer 3.

Sure, put "zope" in a different directory.

I had planned to do this in Zope 2.8, mainly because I wanted to include
zope.interface in 2.8, mainly to address the difficulty of installing the
Interface shim.  Your recent work makes the shim unnecessary.  I'm
really anxious to get 2.8 out, so I'm inclined not to include zope.interface
in 2.8, and thus not deal with the zope vs Zope issue in 2.8.
