The need is one where you have multiple Zope instances that need to share a set of external methods. Currently you need to either put them in the software home Extensions or symlink the each of the instance home extensions directories to a common path.
I'm not going to do any work on this, but I could see why someone would want it.
In this case I would put the stuff in a fake product like $INSTANCE_HOME/MyFakeProduct/Extensions/...
Such a product can be put under revision control and reused in different instances. That is a much cleaner solution than linking or copying files around.
-1 to requiring the creation fake product, which is a (fairly painful) workaround (e.g., you have to know to add an __init__.py to the product, and you have to know about the "funny" syntax for pointing an EM at the product-specific file). "Patches accepted" is the right response for the feature request here.
