Should that really be a module of xwiki-enterprise? To me it looks like
a tool, which could have been used to create xwiki-enterprise itself.

Right, "product" is the right term. I used "distribution" as a

of "product" (like a Linux distro) not with the
"packaging/installer"
sense that's used in the actual XE modules.
So, +1 for xwiki-product-archetype.
Except that all modules in enterprise start with xwiki-enterprise so that would be
xwiki-enterprise-product-archetype and I believe it's overkill since there's only
1 archetype ATM.
If everyone thinks that xwiki-enterprise-product-archetype is better than
xwiki-enterprise-archetype, I'll change it.

No, I mean more generic. xwiki-enterprise is too specific, it means
exactly the XWiki Enterprise product.

+1, but the name should be more generic, like
you mean less generic, not more :)
xwiki-distribution-archetype, because that's what it builds, custom
distributions built on top of XWiki, not enterprises for XWiki.
I chose voluntarily to not have xwiki-enterprise-distribution-archetype because it
doesn't build distributions. It generates all modules to build a product based on XE.
