After reading the other mails:
+0 moving Zend.php - I'd use a Makefile and not svn:external
-1 renaming the class - this class is the difference between a
library and a framework
-0.8 splitting it - same as above

Please take a look at http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-958
We propose to move Zend.php to <zf-home>/library/Zend/Zend.php. The
class name would continue to be 'Zend', and we're not suggesting
changing any methods within the class. Therefore no usage of this
class
would change.
The only change in your application would be that you need to change
this:
require_once 'Zend.php';
To this:
require_once 'Zend/Zend.php';
Alternatively, you could add the 'Zend' directory to your
include_path.
The benefit of this change is to simplify integration of a Zend
Framework tree in an application tree. You could use svn
externals, for
instance.
The disadvantage is that it does not follow the ZF convention that
class
names always match the physical location of the class file. But
this is
the only class that needs to be an exception to this convention.
I volunteer to make this change. I'll update other classes in the ZF
tree. I'll write a note in the manual to tell users what they need to
do. I'll write a docblock in Zend.php acknowledging that it is an
exception to the class-to-location convention.
If there are no strong objections, I'll make this change.

Bill Karwin
