To give you some personal insight: Two of my ongoing projects - which are 
quite big - rely on zope.app. At least, I have various imports from these 
modules:

zope.app.authentication
zope.app.security
zope.app.container
zope.app.component
zope.app.pagetemplate
zope.app.exception

I'd rather not like to rewrite all that in case zope.app dies off.

But I have to further state that I'm locked into Zope 3.4.0 as the support for 
Python 2.4 was dropped, so I can't upgrade to the current ZTK. Therefore I'm 
currently not that much affected by those issues, but I personally hope that 
BlueBream takes off as this seems to be the logical upgrade path for me in 
the future.

Best Regards,
Hermann
