Besides working on the Zend MVC, I'm also the author of Cgiapp, a PHP
port of CGI::Application. In CGI::Application, the rule of thumb is that
if you have more than seven run modes (equivalent to action methods in
ZF), then you need to refactor.
I'd suggest that you should probably refactor such a controller into
multiple controllers with their own subsets of actions.
Alternatively, consider writing your own dispatcher that dispatches to
controller/action.php. This would be fairly trivial to accomplish -- but
is not likely to go into the ZF core any time soon.
