An alternative solution would be that people who have stuff in their
databases that need it add zope.app.keyreference to their list of
dependencies temporarily.

It's a bit problematic in the sense that they might not have a direct
dependency to zope.app.keyreference in their application but an
indirect one which changed.

We definitely didn't add that kind of code to our new packages and to
me it doesn't look very appealing too although my alternative isn't
great either.
