Nothing in zopeapp sets up server instances, AFAIK.   Lots of code in
zopeapp imports ZODB, but nobody depends on being able to set up a ZEO
instance.

BlueBream or grokproject, which generate code to set up applications,
might want to pull it in (or emit the depenency into the generated
code).  Zope2 definitely needs it.
