I've read the code for adapter registries, how there is a global one and

disabled.
But I can't figure out when you'd want to make use of such an
arrangement. The docstrings and .txt files use abstract examples, for
unit testing, and don't provide a motivation for this feature.
Related to that, the global registry is loaded at server startup time
from the various .zcml directives, and I presume that the only way to
loaded up a local registry is thru-the-web, right? Which means all
local registries are persistent in the ZODB, I think.
Can anyone nudge me onto the right path?
I'm most definitely not the right person to make an authoritative
statement on this, but something that we're struggling with in Plone's
adoption of Zope 3 technologies is that CMF/Plone works on the principle
that things aren't active until you've installed something in the site.
For example, I may have two Plone sites in the same Zope instance. If I
want to install a product that uses an adapter registration to override
something in one site, but not the other, global adapter registrations
don't work.
I can imagine this going further, so that for a specific content type I
need a more specific override for that adapter that can't be tied to an
interface only (e.g. in MyCrazyFolder the adapter for IDocument is
different than it is for IDocument everywhere else).
