AFAICS GSLocalAddons doesn't depend on CMF and might be useful for other 
projects as well. Don't know if you did that already, but please add the 
code to GenericSetup, not CMFCore.

I think this is a good time to create a maintenance branch for 
GenericSetup 1.2 and to make the GenericSetup trunk depend on Zope 2.10.

Since CMF site roots have anyway their own class, I think we should 
hardcode the Zope 3 site stuff. I only had a quick look at the code so I 
might be missing something, but implementing this in PortalObjectBase 
seems to be quite easy. And we would neither need to use importVarious 
nor to write migration code.


Just my 2 cents,
