That is soleved by sr_feuser_register.

I know that. But in TER you find over 1000 extensions. Reach them all, 
teach them all ...

And there are not only the reading queries. Writing requires a few more 
lines of code.

Breaking a bigger part of over 1000 existing extensions can't be a 
solution. That approach is good for companies, that wan't to sell a 
completly new generation of software every three years.
