[ZODB-Dev] BTrees and ZODB simplicity

Third rant, dear Zope-Friends (and I mean it as friends!).
In an attempt to make the ZODB a small, independant package, ZODB
has been split into many modules.
I appreciate that, while I think it partially has the opposite effect:
- splitting BTrees apart is a good idea per se.
But the way as it is, it adds more Namespace-pollution than benefits:
To make sense of BTrees, you need the ZODB, and only the ZODB!
So, why should then BTrees be a top-level module at all?
This does not feel natural, but eavesdropping, pretending as something
that is untrue.
I think:
- BTrees should either be a ZODB sub-package in its current state,
- or a real stand-alone package with some way of adding persistence as
an option.
* there is a conclusion following as well.
Thanks for audience this far ;-)
cheers - chris
