I agree with Ingmar on this one. All classes in TYPO3 should be
XCLASSable, that's one of the powerful things of TYPO3.

How many extensions are there really that are XCLASSing XCLASSes? I
mean is this really a problem?

XCLASS'es are really good for local mods, or very specific extensions.

What we would be nice would be to have some kind of overview of
XCLASSes and used hooks so you can easily identify if your extension
clashes with something.
