Yes, you're right.
But zope.sqlalchemy doesn't do everything that collective.lead does (and
ditto for some of the other packages). As far as I understand,
zope.sqlalchemy is about moving the shared core of the various
integration packages to a common package. The configuration semantics of
collective.lead remain where they are, but collective.lead no longer
does its own transaction integration.
