Assuming Paver matures, why not switch Zope to use Paver when it's ready?
You don't have to jump on any train just because it passes by. Competition is a good thing and having several alternatives for a particularproblem is not bad by design. The basic problem within the Python community is the inflation of alternatives - I would call it also unnecessary inflation of alternatives). Unnecessary alternatives means: bad designed, bad implemented. Some examples: every week new tiny Python ORMs pop up (we have strong implementations like SQLALchemy, Storm, SQLObject), we have an inflation of zc.buildout recipes doing nearly the same (svn checkouts, executing command line commands).
