I guess the simple solution is well it you don't like it, use the another framework. Its not quite that simple since I am extremely fond of the CA architecture and have a strong desire to continue with it in some form or another into the future. I think what I am sensing more than anything is a need for zope to adapt a changing reality.
zope.component, at least, is one of the packages that *does* work without "the world". :)
Only partially and only because I did something I really didn't want to do, which was to employ extras. ...
I believe much of what is being accomplished in bfg could be accomplished in zope if it were tighter and we could focus on a leaner core of packages void of the large number of dependencies.
Reducing unneeded dependencies would indeed be a good architectural goal. However, I'm not sure that having a few extra packages today is stopping people from getting things done.
I think there is a distaste for having lots of extra packages around. This isn't very important to me, but it really bugs some folks. Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation
