Hi Jim, perhaps we can discuss this on zope3-dev.

We have to totaly hide this part and offer a different concept. Of corse the normal registration will be available too. I propose to add something like a policy. A policy should register a utility. This means we can add policies via ZCML and the user can only process this policy which registers the utility in a predefind way. Then we can provide a task like. "register PAU" and everything gets registred. There could also be a different policy like: "register PAU with initial principal folder" etc. A ZCML directive could look like: <utilityPolicy name="Add PAU with principal Folder" for=".interfaces.IPluggableAuthentication" class=".authentication.AddPAUWithPrincipalFolderPolicy" /> Then we can offer adding utilities via this policies. If somebody likes to register a utility in a different way, he can add own policies for a utility. I use this pattern in a own registry in a different usecase. It makes it very simple for anduser and even me to register components in a registry. And you don't have to know every little about the registration process. What do yo think about that? Any other ideas?
