Services used to be a concept of the Component Architecture. This might be a remnant permission. Is it actually used somewhere? If so, I guess that it's fine to fold that permission into zope.ManageSite. > I will note that zope.app.applicationcontrol contains code that looks > reusable, even though it is indeed a bit more "application-like".

ManageSite and ManageApplication differ in the sense that ManageSite very likely only applies locally (at a site) whereas the application is a global thing (the server that runs everything) that needs management (like shutting down the server) independent of giving someone the right to administer a site (or even the top-level site).
