Probably not. I think it'd be very good to add something like this to 
the Zope Toolkit documentation in SVN. Do you think you can write 
something? Please send it to the list so people can review it before we 
add it to SVN.

There are reasons which I forget that are discussed on this mailing list 
some time ago, quite extensively at the time...

One of the things we want to do with the Zope Toolkit project is to 
document decisions so that the same stuff doesn't keep coming up. This 
is a good example.
