FTR, there are things in Zope 2 (like Missing and Record IIRC) that
depend on ExtensionClass (or Acquisition) headers, and there is no way
to tell setuptools to depend on an external package to provide
compile-time headers. We could fake it by including externals in Zope2
svn for these headers, but then there's version dependency "hidden" in
these externals that will be violated if the EC and Acqusition eggs
change in any given setup. There's certainly no hue and cry from the
masses I've heard that EC and Acquisition be usable outside Zope 2.
For this reason, I'm not entirely sure it makes sense to break
Acquisition and EC out of a larger Zope 2 package. Likewise for
DateTime (given that there's already a Python datetime). I suspect it
would be decomposition for the sake of decomposition, which is not very
compelling.
There are is a similar problem between things in Zope2 and ZODB, but
ZODB does have a life outside Zope2, so I think it does make sense for a
Zope2 depend on an external egg for ZODB packages.
Likewise for Medusa. This is already packaged as an egg, we just need to delete
it from ZServer.
