My sense from the sprint is that developers here use Zope 3 on its technical 
merits and not its marketing ones. I am personally not that interested in 
Zope 3 being chosen because of PR. When I signed up as a contributor (btw, I 
was the first one) it was because I wanted to develop Zope. I already knew 
that I did not like the CMF due to technical reasons and wanted to bring Zope 
itself forward. So I joined the Zope 3 effort. I never considered this effort 
to be anything else but ensuring the future of Zope. I recognized that Zope 2 
had lost its edge to its competitors and it was necessary to come up with a 
new one.

Having said that, I feel very strongly that built Zope version 3 and nothing 
more or less. And I feel that a name change would betray me and my 
intentions.

Stephan
