I don't know what zLog is; presumably you mean zLOG?
Yep.
zLOG is dead in Zope 2.8, and will remain only for API compatibility.
I don't think there's any real consistency now for what's in the Zope 2 head, so I don't think that's a big deal.
Shouldn't we strive for consistency in nomenclature going forward?

Hehe. ;-)
(I do hope you're joking!)
About even considering a 'wholesale moving and renaming' yes, obviously, but as far as suggesting 'OPE' as an alternative to 'z' (insofar as it is still necessary to avoid a name-clash with 'Zope'), no. 'OPE' (as an acronym for Object Publishing Environment) seems like it fits better conceptually than 'z'.
Did I miss something? Did I just manage to embarrass myself? Is this a dream where I find I am wearing nothing but underwear in public and then wake up?
