Stephan, the KGS is great, but it isn't the answer to this  
situation.  Unless we stop uploading packages to the cheeseshop,  
packages there have to work with the cheeseshop.  Pylons users aren't  
going to switch to a different index just to use zope.component.  
(Fortunately, they don't need to.)

Something is broken here and it needs to be fixed.
