The idea is that the old zope.app.* packages are there for backwards 
compatibility. If you use a modern setup, you will not need them and can 
just rely on zmi.* directly.

Concerning the tests however, they should also be moved to zmi.* and not 
remain in zope.app.*

That's an alternative. It would break people's code that depends on 
extending the ZMI immediately, but we could decide we can live with that.

Yes, the tests for the ZMI should be moved no matter what we do.
