Can't you just become a commiter? :)

Well, I think I may lack some confidence for touching svn.zope.org. That's why I thought about this simple-easy-project to get used to zope3 development standards and procedures.

On the other hand I already have 18 patches and many more will come. It may be a non trivial task for a commiter to apply them all but for the person who is writting them (me) it can be pretty simple to just commit them.

Exactly :). Please become a committer.

Ok, I won't attach more patches to this bug. Instead I will apply for a svn account and apply the patches myself.

I'll leave the bug open until we get rid of zope.app.zapi

While we can get rid of the imports of zope.app.zapi, we can't get rid
of the zope.app.zapi package for backwards compatibility reasons.
Let's just leave it out there to bit rot and make sure that no other
zope.* or zope.app.* package depends on it.

I've removed all existence of zope.app.zapi form the zope.* and zope.app.* namespaces so I'll close the bug now.

The packages without zope.app.zapi were released.
