Yes, -1; I'm sure there's a good reason for putting it in Zope, but I don't
know what it is.  Until I know, I agree with RDM.

While I agree with putting the IToIRegistry in the Interface package (and
was going to do it before being halted for some reason I forget), making
getAdapter available outside of ComponentArchitecture would be problematic,
IMO.
