I used the time machine to make sure that these concepts existed all along:

http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit/about/coreextra.html

It makes the point that "extra" libraries are not in the toolkit. This 
is to make the maintenance burden for the toolkit maintainers (me among 
others) less big, and to give more freedom to people who want to build 
libraries that build on the toolkit in some way.
