I have the impression some of this feedback arose because Grok actually 
allows something that's quite powerful but that people may not be used 
to from experience with other frameworks; the ability to install 
multiple applications into the same server.

If you turn the Zope 3 root into a grok application, there are some 
questions, like:

How do you remove the application again and reinstall it? This is what I 
do quite a frequently during development.

Where is the user interface to go to the introspector?

Where is the user interface to see my server settings, perhaps can 
reboot it, etc?

How this is actually going to make everyone's life better? So far I've 
heard "people are confused", but it's not clear to me that this change 
would make people less confused or if so, it would actually improve 
their lives?
