Did you read the bits about 'repoze.packageindex' and  
'repoze.deploy'?  These are descriptions of packages that meet the  
"new world order" goals.

That's useful feedback.  I think the branding trick here is to  
decompose the bits that make up "Repoze" into categories.  It's  
probably going to be bewildering if we suggest that people think of  
it as one thing (just as it's unhelpful to think of "Paste" as one  
thing; it's actually PasteScript, PasteDeploy, and PasteMiddleware).   
We might need two names, or three, or five, or ten.  That doesn't  
mean that it can't be RepozeDeploy, RepozeMiddleware, etc., just to  
establish a single brand.
