We aren't asking non-developer users for opinions: this is about how we allocate scarce resources (our time), and how to organized the branding such that *we* have a clear story to present. As is typical of open source projects, the only folks who get to vote are the ones who contribute effort. Folks who are just consuming the product can go on using the existing branded things (Grok, Zope2, Zope3-as-released-today). They may not be able to *upgrade* their Zope3 apps without some effort, depending on how this discussion goes. One outcome of this discussion is almost certainly going to be that we tell current and prospective users that we aren't using the name "Zope3" any longer as a brand (with its implications of replacing Zope2). In some ways, this discussion is like the Plone developers" "platform vs. application" debate (which isn't yet resolved AFAIK).
