Yes.

I've sort of been pondering this thought myself for a while. For Zope 
2.11, I have some plans to make a lot of code duplication in Five simply 
go away. Other parts, like the ZCML configuration, should indeed move 
into Zope 2 proper.

So, in general I'm +1 on this. I'd rather see lots of "five.something" 
packages than having Products.Five grow and grow.
