My policy for TYPO3 installations is that no installation has write access
to the core source, and therefore can't upgrade global extensions. If
someone needs a more recent version he has to install it as a local
extension and by doing that excludes himself from the global upgrade cycle.

In my eyes it is not safe allowing a TYPO3 installation to have write access
on a shared TYPO3 source. And in a shared hosting enviroment that is out of
question anyway.

Would that solve your request?

Cheers,
robert
