I checked out the adapters myself and it looks like the
RootPhysicallyLocatable works exactly like the default
LocationPhysicallyLocatable would work for the IRoot object. So I
propose to remove the RootPhysicallyLocatable implementation from
zope.traversing.adapters and import LocationPhyscallyLocatable as
RootPhysicallyLocatable there and remove its registration from
zope.traversing's configure.zcml.

And, of course, the getParents method should be added to the
ILocationInfo interface and that should be stated in changelog
somehow, because that's an extension to API requirements, so
third-party components will need to implement that method in their
custom implementations, if there are any.
