I think we disagree as to the scale of what's needed still.

I'd be happy to see a copy of the ZTK tree get made to some
recognizable name ("ZATK", for "Zope App Toolkit", would suffice), let
Hanno commit his removal of the zope.app packages from the ZTK, and
then make the ZATK refer to that version of the ZTK instead of
including it directly.

The only timeline that's needed is the order of the commits.

If there's anyone who wants to maintain the new bastard-stepchild,
they're free to step forward.  There's no obligation on the part of
the ZTK maintainers to do that, nor should there be.

That's the whole point.
