The obvious point of threads about "XCLASSES inheritance" and "10 news
extensions, what a mess" is almost always missed; 

XCLASSES was meant as a temporary way of extending something. In fact a
"last end" thing. It was not supposed to be heavily used in official
extensions (hooks should be requested for that long-term). BUT XCLASSES
really is a nice way to test and evaluate functionality that candidates
for the core! Think positively!

10 NEWS EXTENSIONS is a mess, but when someone finally distills the
experience and knowledge from those 10 into the FINAL news extension to
beat them all, was it then a waste!? Think about such cases as an
incredible base of experience upon which we can consciously join forces
to produce the final version! Think positively!

happy easter.
