This is not what I would call placeless. My example looks like this:

<utility component="foo.bar" interface="foo.IBar"/>

'foo.bar' is the dotted name of an object in a python module, not in the 
ZODB. The 'component' feature is not used by the CMF, but GenericSetup 
claims to support it.

I guess this only works with a site that has the same ID and no 
sub-object with this ID. Not very reliable and confusing.

I made a list of things that should be fixed in my opinion. But I can't 
decide what is a showstopper and what isn't.
