Who says it should? I really think this is a very bad idea to aim for, 
as that's exactly howthe Z2 ZMI started out and exactly why it has the 
problems it does to day.

Concentrate on building a ZMI for Zope 3 that enables developers like 
you and me to easily build CMS'es, rather than trying to build one CMS. 
That's Z3's sweet spot from evrything I've read...

I think the above are the only people who are event close to beign "Zope 
3"'s targetr audience. All others will come in and use something akin to 
  "Plone for Z3"...

Indeed, stay focused, make Z3's ZMI useful for Z3 users, rather than 
trying to make it useful for Z3's users' users ;-)

cheers,
