My question would be: why launchpad? Is anyone expecting launchpad to be 
a canonical resource for Zope releases? As far as I know none of our 
documentation refers to launchpad for downloads and launchpad has never 
been used for anything other than it's bugtracker.

I would agree that it would be nice to have a single location that lists 
historic releases, I would expect that to be on zope.org instead of 
launchpad or some other random third party website.
