Well, yes and no: My idea is that there will be a well-defined set of core 
packages, and probably some extra packages that are also embraced (e.g. maybe 
z3c packages, e.g. z3c.form).

Of course, trying to embrace every zope package out there will not work. But I 
think it will make sense to embrace packages that cover a common usecase, for 
instance, creating remote tasks is nothing uncommon and will be needed by 
many people. Therefore I'd suggest to embrace at least one package that 
covers that functionality (e.g. lovely.remotetaks, or zc.async, or something 
else).

For all other packages, it will make sense to create some infrastructure, as 
stated in another mail of Martijn.

Best Regards,
Hermann
