In essence: If your egg is in the "Products" namespace you don't need to
do anything after adding it e.g. to the list of eggs for a Zope instance
in your buildout.cfg. The product will be recognized, installed, and any
configure.zcml in the root picked up automatically.

That's one reason I stick to that namespace for anything that is indeed
a Zope 2 Product.
