Either you have a dependency and declare it or you don't have a dependency. Since we don't want to use "extras" anymore, I think this calls for another package which depends on zope.password and zope.schema.
I still don't like/get the idea of creating and maintaining extra package that merely contains a vocabulary factory for another package. Whatever, I reverted that change. Roger, just exclude zope.app.authentication's "password.zcml" file, include "zope.password" explicitly and define your own vocabulary.
I don't quite like the idea of extras and we decided to avoid them. We also decided to avoid tests_require from what I understand. What you did was to not specify an extra nor a hard dependency, but still add zope.schema to the test extra section. That feels wrong. Either you have a dependency and so have the tests or you don't. I think extras have been created for this kind of use-case of providing an "optional feature" from a package. Either we use that mechanism and declare it, or we don't want this mechanism and live with creating extra packages instead. Hanno
