At least, I want only the directives for the packages I have *really* installed. Think of the dependancy monster a common configuration package would be. And even when I have a package installed, I may not want its registrations (because they are inadequate for me and I want to provide my own). >If you don't use ZCML, you don't want any of the directives. > >using --> to mean depends on, what we want is: > >zope.configuration > ^ > | >zcmlforpackagez --> packagex > >...which frees up packagex to be used without any ZCML Apparently, you treat "zope.configuration" as a namespace package and you will never install "zope.configuration" as a whole but only the lower packages -- that might work. Nevertheless, I find it highly unintuitive to rip of the configuration and put it at a completely different place. Package names of the form "packagex" and "packagex_zcml" seem far more intuitive for me. Note that below "zope.configuration" you have to retain the namepaces of your packages to avoid name conflicts and provide a homogenous map between package and its configuration package. You would get subpackages "zope.configuration.zope.proxy", "zope.configuration.z3c.XXXX"....
