Here's the second stated goal:

    - make import statements less verbose. This is done by making the
      hierarchy shallower and the package/module names shorter.

But you'll have imports like zope.app.browser.content.dtml and
zope.app.publication.browser.traversal (if I'm reading that page
correctly ;).  Okay, I've picked two of the deepest packages but
still, how does that accomplish the second goal of the renaming?

Note that I brought up the same question in the zodb-dev list, since
fitting ZODB into the new naming scheme would actually make its import
paths longer!
