Yup.

There are some things in zope.app (e.g. workflow, externaleditor, 
zopetop, module, schemacontent) that aren't shipped with a Zope 3 
install and don't seem to be maintained anymore. I suggest that if 
no-one steps up for them they will simply be deleted.

There are also some things in zope.app that may be maintained but never 
shipped. These things don't really belong in zope.app, IMO (boston, 
homefolder, styleguide, css) and should probably be moved out. 
Discussions with their individual authors/maintainers will be necessary.
