Could we just call it Zope Libraries?  Whenever I see a description of what the
Zope Framework is, it says "a collection of libraries", so why not just call it
that?  "Framework" to many Python web people implies a runnable application
server (the terms got conflated when Pylons and Django started calling
themselves "web frameworks").

I'll step out of the discussion about whether these libraries should be
versioned and treated as a unit, everybody knows my opinion about that.
