I agree with this sentiment. I really hate where ZCML is going. I tend to like 
ZCML as an overview for the functionality of a package, so the already 
simplified versions of the adapter and utility directive make ZCML much less 
useful to me. And Philipp's quest to effectively removing all nested 
directives disturbs me even more. I like the nesting; it groups common things 
together and saves some typing. I also tend to like writing new ZCML 
directives; it's easy.

Having said this, I realize I am in the minority. Thus I will make some 
concessions, but I am not going to just agree with everything.

Regards,
Stephan
