I do this in my mythical ZScheduler. O need a central object to manage
the scheduling of the different Event objects, so on Product
initialisation, ZScheduler creates a ZScheduler object in the Zope root.
Even better, it adds this object to the protected objects list, so a
user cannot delete it. I do provide a way of removing it when you remove
the Product though, and plan to document the procedure thoroughly, if I
ever get to get to work on it again.
