Hey,

JW, could you add a note to the upgrade notes about this?

Well, the tests depended on such a behavior of the publisher too. :)

I share your concern here. I think ideally in the future the browser 
tests should be run against the WSGI app.

I'm not sure this particular proposal would help much in fixing JW's 
issue, though...

I'm on the fence on configuring things when the WSGI app is set up too. 
It'll obscure the place of configuration as it won't be grokked or 
coming through ZCML...
