Agreed; the lean & mean ZTK is more interesting than this ZTK +
zope.app construct.

Creating a second known-good-set construct based on the ZTK and adding
the selected zope.app package sounds like a straightforward task.  It
should be able to reuse the testing policies with little or no change.

I agree with Martijn's desire for caution, however.  This split should
be done, but this is a split, not a simple removal of the zope.app
packages without setting up this ZTK+ construct.
