That's right.  The current ZEO implementation depends pretty
fundamentally on threads to support reconnection.  It is conceivable
that the code could be refactored to work without threads, but it
would be a big effort.  I don't see anyone at Zope Corp.  having time
to do it.

I wonder if a ZEO variant builtin on top of Twisted would make this
any easier.
