I agree completely. I listed this a long time ago as one of my pet peeves with DSpace: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/~helix84/DSpace+pet+peeves
But I wouldn't make the restriction that site cannot contain items. We can imagine a site without the rigid hierarchy, where you would slice through content only via arbitrary facets, not a pre-defined structure (virtual sets). So we should replace Site, Community and Collection with a single type of container, whatever it may be called. Regarding the lack of bundle as a superfluous container, I also wrote about that as one of the reasons for adopting metadata for all; now it can finally be implemented. All in all, think about these as moving away from a single, rigid structure of containership to multiple, dynamic structures of relationships described by properties. To truly leverage this, it would be beneficial for us to adopt triplets (although we might lose the option of using DSpace for just dumping flat data into it).
