We haven't broken with ZK, it just isn't part of the protocol clients use anymore.

This is important for three reasons: 1. To make clients easy to build 2. To have a single security layer for everything (so you don't have to authenticate yourself with two things) 3. To be able to enforce things like throttling and protect the system in an environment with lots of clients.
