You're kidding, right? [snip] 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. Basically we all worked together for a year. Now Zope 2 happens to be done first moving off zope.app, so you're telling me f$%#%Q#k you, I don't need you anymore, go away.
That's not what he is telling you. I don't think he ever intentionally "worked together" to support zope.app* packages in any way. If anything, he may have had input into and interest in the "small ZTK" packages and/or direction, so his viewpoint has never changed.
Well, Zope 2 released with a smaller but present dependency on zope.app some time ago. Those zope.app packages were at least until then relevant to Zope 2 developers. If support for them had been dropped by someone then, they would have had to pick up maintaining them themselves, if they wanted to continue tracking the ZTK and give Zope 2 users an upgrade path out of zope.app. Whether they are still relevant today is harder to say as Zope 2 already had some transition time behind it.
