It sounds like your concerns center around users of a
pluggable/extensible application (like Plone), rather than being
general Zope concerns.  It's certainly reasonable for an application
to want a plugin architecture that works that way.

Perhaps the development teams for the applications would be interested
in getting together and sharing a package that supports a plugin
architecture that works that way.  That would be a good place to share
effort without negatively impacting users who need bare-metal Zope or
the developers of applications that don't have similar
plugin-management requirements.
