No. I think each package that has translations should actually use its 
*own* domain and ship with the translations. In an eggified world it 
doesn't make sense to maintain translations centrally in zope.app.locales.

I think this was a mistake. I don't understand why this was done at all. 
It's absolutely no problem to do

   from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageFactory
   _ = MessageFactory('zope')

instead of

   from zope.i18nmessageid import ZopeFactory as _
