I don't recall what they are, or whether the framework actually depends
on them (as opposed to "aggregating" them for benefit of application
code).  In the latter case, there would be almost no reason not to move
them in;  if the framework itself actually changes to take advantage of
the new interfaces, then we should probably look more closely, just to
ensure that they allow for everyone's use cases.

Note that PlonePAS would already be able to register them as part of the
profile it uses to create the PAS, if all that is needed is to have them
managed by the plugin registry;  the plugins would just be instantiated
from classes outside of the PAS product.
