And that's a very good reason not to monkeypatch it.
We can't have arbitrary third-party packages breaking when
they are used with Zope. Such bugs could be maddeningly difficult
to diagnose and find.

Anyway, Jim has made a papal edict on zope-dev:
We will never monkeypatch hasattr in the zope core.
