I'm +1 on such a project. (though I suspect the zope.interface dependeny 
and the zope.component dependency will also still stay, right?)

Important is to leave zope.app.generations in place and make it depend 
on zope.generations for much of its functionality.

The challenge will be to refactor the tests (README.txt) so it doesn't 
depend on things like zope.app.testing anymore.
