IMHO there is no downside. People would be "heavily dependent" if  
they e.g. had programs directly interacting with ZEO internals, or  
subclassing ZEO components. I would bet the number of people who are  
in that position can be counted on two hands. What everyone does is  
*use* ZEO, and maybe script it a little bit. If the internals change  
it doesn't matter much, as long as the package as a whole fulfills  
the same need that the current ZEO software does.
