The Problem with the concept of a "General Record Storage Page" is, that the 
user will be forced to put all the records of different extensions into this 
one page only.
Usually people responsible for news categories and entries won't even get 
access to a folder containing TV related stuff.
So in this case you can't have both TV and tt_news categories.
This is getting even worse if you got more than just 2 extensions using 
GRSP.

IMHO extension authors should step back from this concept and use TS 
constants instead.
