Hmmm.... CMF skins (templates, Python Scripts, etc.) all work via acquisition; "placeful" scripting in general relies on it heavily. There is admittedly a lot of extra machinery in place to make sure that CMF objects select the "right" templates, based on their 'portal_type', but CMF / Plone / CPS wouldn't work at all without the ability to acquire software.
