Hm, this does not convince me completely. I think your argument is a bit
symbolic: we give a sign that plone.xxx is usable with Grok. But not all
plone.xxx packages are usable out-of-the-box and another symbolic
side-effect could be that developers would expect _every_ plone.xxx
package to be usable as it is. This might mean trouble.

Please don't get me wrong: I am happy that some packages from different
ecosystems collaborate with Grok nicely. I'd only say that we don't have
to prefer Plone over z3c packages only to show the world that we can do
it :-)

But back to the topic: Roger Ineichen just published `z3c.recipe.i18n`
on PyPI :-) So we could just use it and get rid of `lovely.recipe`. I'd
love to see it in `grokproject`. If there are no technical objections,
I'd check the approriate changes in.

Yes, that's a problem at least for the Grok core.
