Uuups, I see. Zope.org's member interface looks so clean only since there
are only one or two products installed. I'm used to my menu with dozens of
products, and that's not exactly what I wanted every user to be confronted
with. Now imagine you'd install a few more products to Zope org. All of
them would be listed in the member's user interface, too. If you would
run multiple Zope instances on one machine, each instance would list all
products that any single instance makes use of.

But okay, Zope user interface, that's a different story. I got your point here.
