I mean, we don't use all zope packages in our test dependency
if we develop eggs. What was the reason to use a subset of
of zope packages for egg testing? 

e.g.
extras_require = dict(
        test = [
            'zope.testbrowser',
            'zope.app.securitypolicy',
            'some more zope.* packages but why not all zope.*'
            ],
        ),

Is there a benefit to not depend on all zope.* packages
in each egg test setup if we do a transition to indvidual
packages?

I understand the benefit to have smaller dependencies
in eggs, but I still think a egg should run all tests
we have in the zope namespace. Like we did in our old
trunk setup.

e.g. 
python test.py -s zope -pv

could be now in a egg:
bin\test -s zope -pv


This whould allow us to run all zope.* tests
during egg development.
