To be honest, I'm coming across many situations where maintenance and  
upgrade issues make me wish the original developers had reinvented a  
couple wheels instead of relying on third party packages. Even if  
they work fine right now you'll have the risk of incompatibilities or  
lack of reaction when it comes to fixing bugs that make your life  
harder down the line.

zdaemon is a little different of course, it's a "standalone"  
functionality in a way. It's not some Zope product that other  
packages rely on.
