Any package that needs to register anything beyond this basic
ZopeAppServerLayer will need to define a new layer.  Running the tests
like that can take time, since the layers take time to build, but
isolating the components is worth while, since it makes it easier to
re-combine components in different ways, so the only tests that are
needed for the integration are those that test the integration itself.

I see no reason to introduce a new convention at this point; there's
already a long list of packages at the top level, several more won't
make it less convenient.
