It doesn't take something as complex as Zope to want many of these features. I end up doing most of them (from scratch each time, of course - getting a round wheel out of linear code is a matter of successive approximation, which, fortunately, Python makes enjoyable) in any long-running server I write. Which is more than a few. I suspect that the people who are going to want it are under-represented in your sample of "users".
