Oh, this will make development so much more tedious. Let's say zope.testbrowser is an egg and I discover a bug in zope.textbrowser while doing some other Zope 3 development, I have to check out zope.testbrowser, fix the bug, check it in, download the new egg and hope it fixed my Zope 3 problem. Honestly this is far too much and I will at most make a bug report. I have seen you take a similar approach to zope.testing and I found that painful just by watching the checkins. I feel like an old record, but please let's keep the development process as simple as possible. I rather make some concessions to the packaging and dependency system than spending more time developing.
