A little.

I think that the way the server and app are integrated needs to be rethought.

I think we need to look at how to leverage Paste Deploy in Zope.

I hate to mention this with all of the discussion about ZConfig, but we should
probably consider using PasteDeploy as an alternative to ZConfig. (Jim ducks.)
Alternative, we should redo the Zope 3 ZConfig schema to work with the Paste Deploy
APIs. Obviously, if we do the later, I'd prefer to do so after we've decided how
we're going to reimplement ZConfig.

In the short term, you might try teasing out the app and server from Zope
and see if you could wire them up with Paste Deploy.
