Unless I'm mistaken the only layer that can't be currently torn down is the 
FunctionalLayer that loads the ZCML. And I remember Gary telling me that 
recent zope libraries (that we are using) now support unloading the zope 
component registry. So in theory, we could make all our layers support tear 
down.
