It really depends on how much we want to play with frameworks like
repoze.bfg that do not want complete buy-in.

In Zope, there's a default implementation for most interfaces and this
makes it easy to get started. The downside is that often times those
implementation have a bunch of dependencies. But I don't think there's
a way out of that.

That's why I think we should simply try to get rid of
zope.app.*-dependencies for starters and also try to move commonly
used components/interfaces to base packages.
