Proposal: Move ISite to zope.location was: [Zope3-dev] ISite misplaced in zope.app.component.interfaces

[Michael Howitz]

Hi,

after thinking the problem over at gocept we came to the following  
suggestion:

- A site is a place which gives acces to a component registry.
- ISite isn't a good name for the concept behind it, because it is  
connected too tight to a website and on having hierarchical  
structures (at least in the code).
- In long term a more abstract concept for ISite could be added.
- In short term, for cleaning up dependencies, I propose to move  
ISite to zope.location, because it is the only package outside of of  
zope.app.* which uses ISite and defindes a method to get the nearest  
site. We think this is the right place because ISite is about  
component registries in the context of location.
- zope.app.component.interfaces then can import ISite from the new  
place to avoid deprectation.
