Keeping the dependency graph clean is great, and there's plenty to do there. But there's also something to be said about being able to keep a substantial portion of it in your head. The cleanliness of the graph isn't so important if most users still can't understand just because there are so many pieces that they wouldn't normally use directly.
Yes, I have voiced that concern several times myself. I personally do not even understand where all this fear of installing many packages comes from. I think it is because the ZCML is pulling in too many default registrations and people are afraid of those, which I understand. But to create new packages just because you do not want to use other parts of it is silly. Regards, Stephan -- Entrepreneur and Software Geek Google me. "Zope Stephan Richter"
