Great!

Perhaps one way to make the ZMI and optional package is to aggregate the 
relevant ZMI code into a smaller amount of packages (or a single 
package), for instance zmi.core. The benefit of doing that is that it 
should be possible to evolve the code slowly. You could still support 
the zope.app.* packages compatibility by putting imports from 
zope.app.something.browser to zmi.core.

Alternatively someone could write something from scratch, but that might 
need longer waiting.
