I guess this is the central issue where we have different opinions.
I don't consider those "just convenience", but rather concept-bearing
of their on right.

Yep, those two would be necessary.

But I don't see where that would come from. As far as I understand it,
hooks.setSite wouldn't be in zope.registry.
