Yeah, I've been thinking the same. But I think it's even unclear what 
the correct story is given the lack of interest people have in the Zope 
3 project beyond what the toolkit offers.

I think Carsten says it well though, contrasting external and internal 
communication, and not just making the term "Zope 3" disappear.

We should just retain the Zope 3 name to the outside world for the time 
being, but de-emphasize it in our communication. We push Zope Toolkit a 
lot more. If people want to get started using the toolkit, we point them 
to Grok, BFG and Plone.
