OK.

The current event services are not aware of traversal, relying instead 
on indirect subscribers for traversal and weak referencing.  Therefore, 
if the design doesn't change, that isn't an issue.  Do you want the 
design to change?

The zcml-specific stuff alone seems a questionable reason to me to make 
a Zope.App.Event.

What's etc.? :-)

There is zcml in a number of directories above Zope/App--if removing 
this is a goal then it, again, sounds like something that should be 
proposed, perhaps as part of the grand renaming.  Perhaps app can in 
fact house both the meta.zcml and the metaConfigure.py files for the 
packages above it.

That makes sense with Jim's overall goals for the alpha--the event 
system should be part of the relatively stable platform he discusses.
