I does not, in itself, logically define a structure, no.

I'm not claiming it is. I'm claiming that using it (or not) is the first
decision we should make (because it has ramifications, big or small, on
almost all of the other decisions.) If you think there is a more
fundamental decision that needs to be made first, let's hear about it.
Hence my last paragraph:
"Whatever your views on the Zope question, please also express views on
that last assertion." (That assertion being that it's the first decision
we need to make.)
