You may be able to get rid of the grok.Model requirement now by relying 
on grokcore.component.Context instead. This is actually a good thing for 
Grok-usage as well, as should also make it work with other model-like 
things (like megrok.rdb models).

grok.Traverser will be more difficult. The *nice* way to do this would 
be to see whether we can't extract some new grokcore.* out of it that 
contains this, so you don't have to rely on the whole of Grok.

Alternatively of course you could just rely on the Zope 3 package 
directly and do a lower-level registration using grokcore.component, but 
  that would suddenly make you rely on a less high-level abstraction, 
which would be a bit of a shame.
