Obviously I cannot *force* ZTK maintainers to worry about this. Instead I'm appealing to your self-interest. And of course the transition burden is shared and should not fall solely or even predominantly on the ZTK maintainers.
My self-interest? Not really: you are appealing to my altruism, in the fact that I care about the *broader* Zope community (broader than Zope2, Grok, Plone, or whatever. Neither of my chosen platforms (Zope2, bfg) rely any longer on any of thsoe pacakages at all, which makes my direct interest in them exactly zero.
If the ZTK is decoupled from other users, e.g. from people who rely on zope.app, then they will simply not use it, or do a fork. This way, ZTK users are lost, which also leads to a loss of supporters and developers and results in a shrinking interest in ZTK, whose primary goal was/is to be _the_ base for all other Zope-based applications. So I think, being altruistic may be quite the same as acting out of self-interest.
