I'm still not sure that I understand what PCGI does. But it sounds like if I don't know what it does and something doesn't ask for it specifically then I don't need it. I just want to make sure if we don't use I don't break anything (i.e. if we front end with Apache using rewrite rules it shouldn't need PCGI).

There are significant reasons for wanting to run zope and apache in combination,
This isn't a special case. IMO, you should *always* put something in front of Zope in a production environment.
Just to be explicit for the benefit of the ongoing discussion thread, PCGi is obviously just one option (which I still have reasons for liking personally). Using port 8080 inside a frame is a really ugly one, IMHO, and only suitable if you are really in a rush. Some people might use lynx or otherwise dislike frames, and the direct 8080 port will still be exposed.
FastCGI is another option which, I presume, is what Zope 2.7 is implicitly suggesting as the preferred substitute for PCGI (it's been there a long time, of course).
