Right. The current zope.app egg also includes never-ever released 
things. It's simply the Zope3/src/zope/app directory from svn (which 
still has some old, never used and probably dangerous stuff in it).

Apart from the fact that we should clean out the Zope3/src/zope/app 
directory in svn, we should also delete all traces of the zope.app egg. 
As mentioned, it contains unreleased stuff and is therefore not 
production or release material. Keeping it around would be misleading.
