I think the confusion here stems from

  - utility as in "public utility" - gas, water, electric

versus

  - "utility knife" - handy, heavy-duty utensil

I'm pretty sure the current zope3 usage intends the latter, while i
suspect phillip is assuming the former.

Hey - how about "utensil"!?

It's very similar to the intended use of "utility", and doesn't have any
grand categorical connotation (i've never heard of a "public utensil":-).
