My big problem at the moment with ProposedDirectoryHierarchy is the
removal of the View package. If we only have zope.app.browser instead of
zope.app.view.browser, there's absolutely no way to factor out code
that's specif to views but not specific to browsers. For instance
sorting of folder contents, helper formatting functions, and so on.
