repoze.zcml is stupid simple; its only actual value is 100% test coverage, so 
cutting and pasting its code will always make sense as necessary.

But FTR, "using a different ZCML namespace" would be fixed by having a 
different meta-ZCML file for meta configuration in any other package.  That 
meta-ZCML file would just copy the meta.zcml from repoze.zcml and change:

   <meta:directives namespace="http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg">

to:

   <meta:directives namespace="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope">

... leaving everything else exactly as-is.

OTOH, I don't know how to both give 100% BW compat and have the "zope" 
namespace be the default for the adapter/utility/subscriber directives.
