Will it cause any problems in packages that use existing
zope.component with its current coding style? If not, then why can it
be a problem?

Well, that certainly needs to be tested, but I don't think it's a
blocker for merging. We're on the development version anyway. :-)
(however, of course if would be nicer to do compattests before
merging, but this should'nt take much time?)

Isn't this as easy as adding the contents of "test" extra to the
"test_requires" parameter?
