How do you assemble releases 'from releases'? I'm not sure I

I'll note that SchoolTool greatly benefits from the current release
building. We simply include all the Zope 3 dependencies in our
dependency list and build the release. We can decide to include
Zope 3 dependencies or not. Overall I think zpkg is a great win and
whatever we do next should not remove those features.
I agree that dependency based releases -- and development is great.
I think eggs are a lot farther along that zpkg. (Eggs weren't around
when we started zpkg.) If eggs work out, as I hope they will, I'd
like to stop work on zpkg and just use eggs.
Sure, I support dependencies and separating out Zope into sub projects,
I'm just listing an additional use case: the repository state should be
similar to release state, to avoid confusion for developers as well as
people who want to become developers.
I.e. a developer should have the ability to easily see the same (or
similar) code layout, dependencies, etc, as in a release, and someone
familiar with a release should see the same (or similar) code layout,
dependencies, if they become a developer.
Another use case, probably mostly in the context of Five, it's nice to
have an inclusive release of Zope 3 in Zope 2. The goal of reducing the
amount of code included in Zope 2 sounds nice in theory, but it stops
Five developers from exposing Zope 3 code in Zope 2 because it simply
isn't there in a particular release. It is *nice* to have all of Zope 3
included in Zope 2. I don't want to lose that good thing in the rush to
minimize dependencies.
