Yes, TYPO3 does not require InnoDb because many hosters still have that disabled. But TYPO3 folks already changed engine type for those tables to InnoDb and said in NEWS.txt that you are supposed to use InnoDb for these tables if you want good performance :)

Not everyone needs that. In any case you will get much better performance with InnoDb & cache_* tables, so I assume major companies already use that at least for the sake of database stability. MyISAM crashes tables too often.

It depends on what you call "work properly" ;) But I agree: the warning should eb shown that InnoDb is not enabled and performance may be compromized.

I agree. May be Thomas can include this check in his new Setup module?
