FWIW, I just want to make sure that I don't need to remove the current
shutdown signal hander for 2.6.

I definitely see that the current pack handler needs to go.  But
hopeless or not, the shutdown handler currently works.  I can see that
it might be disastrous under ZEO as all work happens in the main thread,
but under Zope it seems hamrless.
