Thx Ingmar. Imho that could be a "perfect" solution, fitting almost all 
cases.

On the other hand it probably doesn't make that much sense anymore 
because some extensions do provide stuff for BE *and* FE(for example 
indexed_search). So what should happen to those packages?

Go into FE-package? (providing stuff for a BE that is not there, 
probably causing errors?)
Be split?(actually I believe this should be the way to go then but I am 
not sure if that doesn't raise the maintanance-effort very much plus I 
am not sure if it could work after all since the use of the 
EXT-configuration doesn't strictly separate beetween FE and BE)

Like I said: I do believe it is a nice idea but it needs thorough 
investigations and work and imho it might be it is not even possible 
after all.

plus it doesn't help at all if we have a FE-Package that doesn't serve 
CMS, cause I don't think many people server TYPO3-Pages without 
sysext:CMS. ;)
