Subscribers and subscription adapters are particularly bad in this way,

We've talked about an "off" switch for ZCML before. Given that we have a
configuration machine that's capable of doing overrides based on
discriminators, why couldn't we have support for negatives, e.g.
<unconfigure>
<utility ... />
</unconfigure>
This could use a special _context that would record callables and
discriminators, and then look for the corresponding
callables/discriminators in the real context and remove them before that
context was configured.
Subscribers don't have discriminators, unfortunately.
Indeed they don't. That just makes them harder to track down, though.
I'm working on a package for this functionality in z3c.unconfigure right
now. Name inspired by Martin's suggestion above; my original prototype
used had a different name but this is much better :).
