Not necessarily:  in fact, if testing it means that users of my package
have to accept a big dogpile of dependencies that they otherwise
wouldn't need to, then no.  I can easily imagine shipping ZCML in the
form I outline below in a package which itself doesn't depend on
zope.configuration at all, for instance.

I likely won't ship ZCML inside a reusable library (as opposed to a
deployable application):  if I do, it will probably be not a
"convenience" that I make everybody include (not my definition of
convenience, anyway) but an example which I expect they can either
include or *copy and change*.
