I'm probably not seeing something, but wouldn't we be able to just move the widgets from zope.app.form into zope.formlib?

If there are multiple frameworks that use this (and there are, Zope 2, Grok, Zope 3 apps), shouldn't just drop it. We could move it into the 'under review' status or something.
