Because it still has legitimate uses (try formatting a MIME-multipart 
email message with ZPT...).

The beauty of Z3, though, is that you should have much more flexibility 
in what you choose to use. Don't like DTML? Don't use it. Really hate 
it and feel motivated? Implement an alternative templating framework 
that works better for particular needs. I think the Z3 architecture will 
make it much easier to "use the right tool for the job".
