Sounds fine to me.  Then again, I don't use jython.

I suppose that if someone desparately wanted some python libraries, they 
could be packaged specifically for jython as desperatelywanted-jython.

Sounds a bit odd to me, as there is an upgrade path from Zope 2.6 to 
Zope 2.7.  But, that's a minor point.  It would be straightforward for 
someone to explicitly upgrade a Zope instance from 2.6 to 2.7.  I might 
even prefer it like that.
