Agreed. The ZTK is pulled into one direction or another (is it a renamed 
and refocused Zope 3? or is it a framework construction kit? or a set of 
libraries we can build other libraries on?).

I think in general frameworks like Zope 2, Grok and 
whatever-Stephan's-appserver-is-named should lock down quite a bit more 
than what's in the ZTK itself. It's just that the ZTK process itself 
doesn't manage these packages.
