Maybe a 2-level system for system extensions would be a solution?
level-1: essential, core version specific extensions (e.g.
rte,workspaces,list) which reside in sysext and are only released with
each core version.
level-2: other useful extensions (with key owned by TYPO3 association
and a development team), which are used very often.
These could maybe be shipped in typo3/ext, and are updateable from 	TER.
Why in typo3/ext? This directory is shipped empty and currently requires
anyway extra care on each update.
