Well, in Zope 3.0 there are many services. But by definition services cannot 
be simply removed, since they are essential to the system. However, other 
componets can be removed more easily.

In Zope 3.1 we removed the concept of services. All existing services were 
implemented using utilities.

Utilities map to the CMF concept of Tools. Certain ideas from CMF were 
migrated into Zope 3, but I doubt that all of them will be ported into the 
core, since Zope 3 is an application server, not a CM framework. However, 
z3lab.org was just created to discuss a framework on top of Zope 3 that will 
provide CM-related features.
