full ack.
But some steps before has to be done imho:
The versioning sysext should be a GUI only. All the functionality on 
version records should go to a new class like
t3lib_versioning
At the moment most of the used functions are in t3lib_BEfunc which is 
very untransparent, as this class is a mixture of functionality same 
like t3lib_div.

Next step a t3lib_workspaces could extend t3lib_versioning and add 
functionality there.

Next step tcemain should use these files.

This would be the best to get transparency into the whole thing, which 
isn't the case now, and which makes it really difficult to understand 
the big picture behind versions and workspaces.

As last step a new sysext workspaces could get the GUI for workspace 
handling. Doing this before would complicate the whole process.

just my 2 cents.
