Not pedantic enough as there is a mechanism to rename a permission, see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.dublincore/3.8.0#id3 In version 3.7.0 the backward compatible renaming was removed. >>> This made me realize that zc.catalog contains ZMI code in the >>> browser subpackage. >>> >>> Are people still using this ZMI code from zc.catalog?

I'm fine with these suggestions but I'd suggest a new additional "browser" extra, which declares the dependencies of the browser subpackage.
