Very good idea anyway...

Isn't this what Zope is all about? What would be left if you took them away?

I think aquisition is one of the great features of Zope. A small, ridiculuous 
example is this: if you declare a webmaster name/email address as a dtml-var 
(like the standard_header), and it's on every page of a 1000 page site, and 
you want to change it, you can do it in one spot, and it changes everywhere!

Why bother with Zope if you take away all the stuff that makes it unique? 

Obviously there are warts to Zope, but nothing is perfect.
