[TYPO3-dev] extdeveval should help create autoload.php for extensions, says announcement of 4.3

Hi,

Not at all. It is supposed to be the community's development platform.

Yes, but it's not official. Those t3x files are generated by a script 
run by Andreas Otto and you never know when that may stop. So, while 
convenient, it cannot be considered a proper way of getting an extension.

The case of extdeveval is indeed problematic. It is the kind of 
extension that is very important to developers, but is not part of the 
core. Just like the kickstarter, it depends on volunteer work, mostly by 
core team members who are already busy with other stuff. I agree that 
it's not optimal, but we do our best.

Cheers
