I have suggested this before, but back then we decided to leave things as they 
were. Maybe the time has come to change that.

Having said that, this change would break a lot of code, including all opf my 
projects, since I do not use zope.app.appsetup.addUtility. Since we are not 
working with egg-based releases yet, BBB must be provided. Depending on how 
good the BB is, this could be an easy or very hard task.
