I don't expect other people for me to fix this for me, but I suggest 
that this be noted somewhere where it can be seen, because ZEO is quite 
important for us running larger sites.

Even though many people do not use ZEO themselves, when considering and 
comparing web-app frameworks, it is a major pro for Zope to be able to 
provide cluster capabilities out of the box.

So the capability to use an alternative to ZServer for ZEO sites should, 
I suggest, be considered as a desirable future feature by ye Zope3 Gods.
