Good work. Here a general comment. Sometimes we broke up a package into zope.X 
and zope.app.X to have a very basic package for other projects and a more 
Zope specific one. In this case you might want to merge the two, but this 
would create new dependencies. But maybe those would be just soft 
dependencies, since they are only needed in conjunction with ZCML. A good 
example is zope.component and zope.app.component.

I think we should just do some of the very obvious and easy ones and see how 
it goes. A good example here is zope.app.container.

Of course. BTW, SchoolTool would also benefit from this.
