So, if I don't need any of the acquisition I just go with  
zope.publisher.browser? How about the configuration? Just use the adapter  
directive?

I think this is you speaking with different hats on. My view on Zope2's  
roadmap would be to continue to move towards the zope.tales  
implementation, deprecating as necessary. I don't see any difference  
between Zope2 and Plone as to whether the actual implementation is  
zope.tales or Chameleon. Replacing "here" with "context" in templates is  
easy enough. That said, I did get pretty scared when I looked at the  
implementation!
