I suspect that whether the proposed exclusions are implemented, or
whether some convention for isolating the ZCML for different purposes
is adopted, there's a need for component builders to actively make
their components easier to work with when integrating only specific
aspects.

Some common aspects would be good to agree on, I suspect, where
aspects may include permission requirements, ZMI support, general
views, etc.  Finding good ways to break things down without overdoing
it might not be so easy, though I suspect the most easily identified
aspect is likely to be the ZMI support, since no-one really likes it.
