I am aware that templaVoila has more in store than the template engine. So I'm not talking about making this fine new thing obsolete. I'm arguing for choice. Now that Tyo3 has services I think this is a point where they could be of use.

The only possible time to do is now. Once extension authors switch solely to templaVoila it's over. So if anybody thinks having the template engine as a service rather than a dependcy to a specific extension is something to have, he or she should try and convince Kasper.
