No one seem to be have answered this question. I can't say except from 
an end users perspective and my answer would be yes. I want to put your 
Products.Quills into eggs= in my buildout, run buildout and everything 
is done for me. I want this to get every release including beta releases 
and I don't want betas I will put a version number in.
This is how I use plone4artists and portlet.static for instance.

Is it true that the work on PloneSoftwareCenter will merge with pypi so 
publishing your products is as simple as uploading to PSC or plone.org?
