I don't particularly care about names of anything at all here.

repoze.zope2 seems to be the closest thing out there which allows me to
move in some form of evolutionary approach from current Plone/Zope2 to
something that has a reasonable chance of loosing its Zope2
underpinnings before hell freezes over.

I still think the general goal is to decompose things and use WSGI for
this package, so it fits the Repoze umbrella. If you have a suggestion
on what to name it instead, that'd be more than welcome - don't let
Germans name anything ;)
