That isn't my recollection. zapi was introduced as an experiment to  
make imports simpler.  This was done in the days when we used contxt  
wrappers heavily and there were a whole lot of context-wrapper  
related APIs that had to be used.  When we got rid of the context  
wrappers, there were fw methods in zapi that were used anymore.  Most  
of those were the component APIs and getting those from  
zope.component rather than ztapi made the code less Zope dependent,  
which was a good thing.
