[TYPO3-dev] Request: mark csh_* as obsolete

Indeed the extension will still show "alpha" state when being downloaded
to a site. The change in the database would only affect the display on
typo3.org - and still I am not 100% if it would work at all.

I think the problem is that people might still think that these
extensions are neccessary, so they should see it in the EM upon download.

However, what I do not want to do is to upload > 40 extensions just
because of this tiny problem. If someone else wants to do it, I could
give him temporary access for all csh_* extensions and let him do it.

The other alternative is to simply delete all those extensions. Who
needs them anyway?!
