I agree on this. Also, I think "Products" is the wrong name for the
directory. It should be called "Packages", or better yet, "packages",
because that's what it contains.
Leave "lib/python/Products" for the place where old Zope2 stuff lives, IMO.
Of course this starts the ball rolling on discussion of package
management, which is likely to be quite important but a big scope
expansion on Zope3. We can't ask the current team to shoulder that
burden. Instead, we need to bring in some of the people willing to
collaborate, refine, and propose.
