[TYPO3-dev] method "getRecordOverlay" is overlaying records set to "all languages" - bug or feature?

If we take the l10n-guide as the specs, yes. (I take it that this
snippets from the doc and the idea presented in my last post mean the same.)

The paradigm changes the behaviour. Wouldn't be much of a paradigm if
things were the same ;)

If you *really* need an untranslatable [ALL] this is one option. The
other is to have another config option that defines the
"translatability" of [ALL] records. I guess it depends if you need them
on a case-by-case basis or just a site-wide setting.
