I agree calling it Zope 2 version 3 would be very confusing. There's a 
lot of Zope 3 google juice around that would get muddled up even more.

Concerning not marketing Zope 2, heh, Zope and marketing strategies? I 
thought we were going to call "Zope 2", "Zope" now, so people will 
obviously be curious about this Zope thing... Never make any assumptions 
about a coherent Zope marketing strategy! I'll also drop in a reference 
to the existence of zope2.zope.org.
