There's attributes belonging to modules. They will be deleted when Zope 
restarts. They won't participate in the Zope concurrency protection 
scheme though -- see how RAM Cache Manager handles that, as it uses data 
stored in module attributes.


You might also look at _v_ attributes of Persistent objects. These will 
definitely be deleted when Zope restarts. They will almost certainly be 
deleted at various points before that too.
