Since Jim says you're not missing something, I'm going to add to the Zope Framework Steering Group decisions that this is enough and we could clean up __init__.py's to this if we would want to.
So, let me try to understand the decision process here:
1. The extras_require is banned to enable building with regular distutils.
extras_require is _not_ banned yet. There is no such decision here: http://docs.zope.org/zopeframework/steeringgroup/decisions.html Though I can see this: "We can consider removing extra dependencies for particular Zope Framework packages in order to make the dependency graph easier to reason about. We will do this on a case by case basis though."
2. pkgutil is now banned which will prevent regular distutils from working properly.
'setuptools' is a hard-dependency for all packages now, without removing that, there is no point in keeping that fall-back import of 'pkgutil'. Regards, Baiju M
