It is a shame that we can't write clean software. There is almost no reason 
that AT has to depend on Plone. AT is *infrastructure*, AT is *middleware*. 
It must *not* depend  on something on the application level. Another 
example for bad design is that some (or all) skins of ATContentTypest 
are/were part of CMFPlone. Things that belong together should be belong 
together but I see almost no reason why things are getting mixed up instead 
of  clear separation (having the benefit that frameworks can be re-used in 
other contexts). This has nothing to do with that those frameworks belong 
to the Plone core..it's basically a cheap question of software design and 
architecture.
