  Having different roles will help greatly yes, and even if we end up with
multiple packages that would still be a great idea to have, but again, if I don't
expect (want) my users to use this browsing interface at all, why should I
load all its code when the server start ?

  That just increase the application footprint for nothing, and designing the new
ZMI in two or three packages (not 50) would solve it.

  And I am against 50 packages too, as setuptools get exponentially slower
when you load entry_points, as it check that all dependencies of your packages
are installed.

  Regards,

  Sylvain,
