[Zope] Uninstall on WinNT and the Registry

I was just uninstalling Zope 2.2b1 from a WinNT box, and selected the custom
uninstall to see what all it was taking out - and when it got to the part
about removing registry keys, it showed some things that looked pretty dodgy..

The dialog box legend says: "The following Registration Database Keys were
created during the installation. Select those keys that you want to remove."

And then goes on to list quite a few Zope-related things that sound ok, but
also lists:

  SYSTEM
  SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
  SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

That can't be right.  If the uninstall really did blow away those parts of the
registry tree..you'd be screwed.  What's going on here?
