I used to think that way, I'm not so sure anymore. Speaking to
people about this over the past few months, I've come to realise
that our model of thinking that the site root is the "parent" of all
content from which things like portlets can inherit if they need to
be site-wide is not how people tend to think about it.
I think to most people, the root is the front page and is just a
page. You may want some portlets on the front page, or you may want
some portlets that are global and show up (almost) everywhere. In
our current model, the "workaround" is that you have to be careful
to assign portlets to the root and then not block them unduly. This
gets unnatural, especially if you have deep or complex content
hierarchies.
FWIW i can directly attest to that from an ongoing project. i.e. i
have some users feeling pain that would (at least partially) go away
if we had this plip already.
