I also liked the 'CheeseShop' name, but what does that leave our
setup.py thingies being called? Cheeseballs, maybe?

Yes, very much. I like 'parcel' better than 'project', partly because
it's not already overload with other contextual meanings.
This is just another example of the degree of confusion around
terminology here, because "parcel" isn't a substitute for "project":
a "project" is something that you would release "parcels" *for*.
