[TYPO3-commerce] commerce development - next steps

[Morten Haggren]

Hey,

These breaking changes are they limited to templating or will they 
affect the internal workings of commerce change enough to break commerce 
plugins? ( db layout, hooks, control flow, etc )

While it's of course  impossible to say exactly when do you think that 
the changes will be complete enough to start adapting modules depending 
on commerce  - a few months, a year, more?
