1) Fixed.
2) This is the same issue as with docutils. I believe that either a
maintainer of PyPI needs to add the trove classifier for them or someone
should contact Logilab and ask them to add the trove classifier.
3) Why is it that plone and zope have 81 packages on PyPI? In the next top
100 there are 7 green packages
(cssutils, argparse, pytest, pyramid, versiontools, PyYAML, scipy). So if I
consolidate plone and zope we get to about 59/200 vs 52/200. Not a huge
jump but a worthwhile one.
