MVC, factory and strategy can be learned without ExtBase or FLOW3. From
what I read here dependecy injection is not part of ExtBase.

Many extensions use already MVC and factories, perhaps also strategies
could be introduced into the Core when it makes sense during a
"refactoring session".

But if it's just a "toy" and a learning tool then it shouldn't be named
ExtBase which implies to be a real, stable foundation for the future.

And why extensions only? Why not <InspiringName>Base to be accompanied
by <InspiringName>FE and <InspiringName>BE?

Anway, those who want to use it, may do so. I'm just a bit disappointed
that's all.
