I think it is a huge mistake to lose Zope branding. After years of
building up momentum behind a project, to head off into some

The world, after many years, gets versions. Stick to it.
Works:
Mac OS9 -> Mac OSX (10)
Here was a mistake:
Mosaic -> Netscape -> Netscape Communicator -> Netscape Gold ->
Firebird -> Mozilla -> Firefox
Considering Firefox has nearly 15% marketshare today, I'd call it a
success. It certainly could have been worse had Netscape not done
the hail mary of releasing it under another name that wasn't
conflated with its own brand (witness the takeup rate of Netscape 6/7).
