That's right. The current ZEO implementation depends pretty
fundamentally on threads to support reconnection. It is conceivable
that the code could be refactored to work without threads, but it
would be a big effort. I don't see anyone at Zope Corp. having time
to do it.
I wonder if a ZEO variant builtin on top of Twisted would make this
any easier.
