Our rule for inclusion in the ZTK is: Whatever library is used by at least two out of the three frameworks (BlueBream, Grok, Zope). Given that BlueBream hasn't seen any release beyond a 1.0 about two years back, I'm not sure it's active or relevant anymore. Grok isn't seeing frequent releases, but there was a 1.5.5 mid last year. If you compare the version list from the last ZTK 1.1.5 (http://download.zope.org/zopetoolkit/index/1.1.5/zopeapp-versions.cfg) and Grok 1.5.5 (http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/1.5.5/versions.cfg), you'll notice that Grok already overwrites the version requirement for half of the non-deprecated packages with its own versions. And as I said, Zope isn't using any of them anymore for a long time. So I don't see any value in testing and promising stability for those zope.app packages, when there aren't any shared consumers for the specific versions. And the actually used versions by Grok are: zope.app.applicationcontrol, zope.app.appsetup, zope.app.debug - renaming those to a non zope.app prefix doesn't make a lot of sense for me either - as they are all about a specific app server configuration and not generally reusable libraries.
