To clarify: We're considering the addition of a module that wouldn't have
anything to do with the zcml extra but would talk about zope.security
nontheless. Only it wouldn't be a dependency declared in setup.py or in
the sense that things would break without zope.security. We'd rather try
to import it and if it isn't there, just not do one or two things in the
code on the grounds that they'd be irrelevant in that case anyway. As
we're thus not requiring zope.security to be installed, I think you should
be fine on GAE.

I mentioned the zcml extra only because that's how zope.component has to
do with the security concept already, as a motivation of why I'm letting
go of my opposition to introducing more of that concept into
zope.component.
