In out world Zope doesn't have a brand. Plone has a it. Most of our 
customers doesn't have a clue as to what Zope is.

As far as I can tell, Zope is a developers brand. No end users 
(customers) starts up with Zope anymore. Rather they go straight to 
Plone/CPS etc.

Splitting up Zope to let people use seperate pieces of Zope aka Zed is 
not a valid reason. Good software practise is a valid reason. But 
catering for those few developers that wants to use just a few pieces is 
probably not worth the effort.


Zope didn't become really popular before Plone/CPS etc. In my case 
customers are calling and asking for Plone solutions. Nobody where ever 
asking for Zope solutions! You had to push hard to make the customer use 
Zope instead of .asp/Java etc.
