That's not a very satisfactory answer for a number of reasons:

* the 3.4.1 release of zope.app.publication, the 3.4.1 release of 
zope.app.appsetup, and the 3.4.2 release of zope.app.publication *still* 
introduces this new dependency on zope.error 3.4 which never should've 
happened in the 3.4 line.

* Concerning it all being there in subversion, the CHANGES.txt in SVN 
actually doesn't even mention this massive package refactoring, last I 
looked.

* This situation should've been avoided in the first place. Saying it's 
all in subversion and for other people to sort out is very weak.

* what are you proposing anyway? We release a zope.error 3.4.0, pulling 
it out of our hats all of a sudden? We release zope.app.appsetup 3.4.0 
that doesn't need zope.error at all? I can't see a way out of it even 
with what's in subversion.
