It's fine with me. We maybe just need to remove the C extension in
it... someone (you?) provided a pure python implementation of what it
does that probably runs just as fast.
I wouldn't be apt include the Scheduler product in the core. I think it
may be a tad too complicated.
The Event product is likely superseded by the Zope 3 event system
included in Five.
