Hi Ben,

we are using fdfx_svn 
(http://forge.typo3.org/repositories/show/extension-fdfx_svn) to deploy 
staging from development and then ftp and server side scripts to 
live/production.As this is only for extensions we investigated solutions 
on customers' request.

Based on t3x-export/import we are thinking of a way to extend that to 
enable direct server to server, i.e. TYPO3 to TYPO3 communication using 
services.
t3x export/import is sofar missing "only" 3 features:
	extensions has to be included
	extensions has to be installed on remote systems
	api for REST services

Peter.
