A major version of Zope 2 is actually a minor at the version meaning, but everybody knows that for instance to switch from 2.10 to 2.11 you have to review and update your code like if it was a real major version change at the version meaning. That would be really confusing to do otherwise, since it was like that for years. I am also in favor of dropping the 2, but picking a new name would be nice, like to have 'framework x' 10 that map to Zope 2 2.10, 'framework x' to 2.11. Other products did that, Solaris, Mac OS X ... it is not strange to do so I think.
