There's also the small fact that the environment one is integrating into may be (is in my case) Zope unfriendly. Requiring Zope would require me to move away from other designs I'd much rather not.
Yes. Zope should not be _required_, but I think it is not a problem if some changes like e.g. replacing template texts require shell access unless you have Zope.
BTW I don't think that Mailman should be married to Zope in any way. When another (Free Software) application server framework becomes very popular, I think it would be good for Mailman to be compatible with framework, too. The choice of application server framework (if any) would be an installation-time configuration option.
