The problem with putting everything in an External Method is of course
security. Maybe it would be a good idea if there exists a repository of
ExternalModuleImports somewhere at zope.org. These would be
ExternalMethods (or something similar) which import a module, but remove
all defs with security implications (like file access). 

That way, security patches are more easily distributed to those
concerned.
