repoze.bfg is actually *not* build with the Zope Toolkit at least as "Zope Toolkit" is defined by the Steering Group. It uses only zope.component, zope.interface, and zope.configuration, plus the dependencies thereof plus zope.testing. This works out to maybe 12 zope-related packages, while the Zope Toolkit is, AFAICT, defined as "the set of packages that Zope 3 used to be, versioned as a unit through time".
The closest technical definition of packages in the Zope Toolkit is currently "what Zope2 (or Grok) needs of Zope 3, minus the stuff it shouldn't need, plus the general useful stuff". This comes down to a list of about 70 packages right now, where ideally it should be closer to 50 after some more dependency cleanup. The "general useful stuff" are things like zope.intid, zope.keyreference and zope.catalog if I remember Theuni's mail correctly. ZDecoy, eh Zope 3 consisted of over 140 packages, so I do see a very clear difference between the two. That is not to say, repoze is based on the Zope Toolkit :) Hanno
