I made a similar point this summer already, so I am restating it here,s o it 
becomes part of the discussion:

Right now the Views Package and even the Browser package in it seem like an 
overdose, simply because we only create Browser views at the moment (maybe a 
couple FTP ones). But once we start building more frontends (View types) for 
Zope, such as XML-RPC, SOAP, XUL, or wxWindows my fear would be that the 
Packages become bloated by Views. 
Now, that might certainly not be a beating argument for removing the Views 
Package, but it is certainly a strong argument for leaving the Browser 
package.

Stephan
