I believe the work which Philipp and I did at PyCon will land for Zope
2.10 / Five 1.4.  Until then, we don't have any story for view
customization:  sites which depend on such customization will need to
continue using the skins.

Once that work lands, we should be able to integrate the UI from the
prototype, which shows the template-driven views for a given object, and
allows creation of a new templatee in the nearest "site", shadowing the
global view.
