 Isn't Archetypes only for Plone?

 I mean, Plone is a very good *application* but I don't want to be 
locked on it.

 Just release a way to convert a Zclass to a Python Product (at least 
for the simplest ZClasses...).

 I'm stil stuck on convert that damn base class CatalogAware to 
CatalogPathAware, just to name something (CatalogAware) which is still 
there for no reason... :)
