+1 In fact, I would go as far as calling the light version "Zope 3". If you want more (the ZODB, etc.) then you just need to install those extension packages to Zope 3. As said in a different post to the list, I think the use of eggs would make this a lot easier and could help justifying the additional step you need to take go get a "classic" Zope 3 installation. I'm not entirely convinced that the line we'd have to draw between "classic" and "light" Zope is exactly at the zope.app border now. zope.app also contains non-ZODB specific things that "Zope 3" should still ship with. Which again shows how stupid the zope vs zope.app distinction is. Death to zope.app!
