Hhm, personally I don't care that much if we "fix and remove" the
zope.app dependencies later on from Five or somewhere else inside the
Zope2 distribution. But I'll try to keep an eye on that.

I thought about that as well for a while.

If more people agree on that, I think this is sensible to do. For both
of these leaving indefinite compatibility imports in place that point
to the new packages defeats the purpose of loosing the dependencies,
though.

So how exactly would a deprecation of this code look like? Make the
two new five.* distributions available with the current code now, use
zope.deprecation to import but warn about the removal in 2.13 and
remove the whole code in 2.14? Or can we still stick the deprecation
into 2.12 and already remove in 2.13?
