[TYPO3-mvc] TYPO3 requires Fluid and Extbase?

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey all,

Susanne and me are planning on getting the Installer Tool and the Login 
screen for the Backend templateable. We were thinking of using Fluid to 
show everybody Fluid is not just for plugins :). However, we think that 
the installer should have as least dependencies as possible, but right 
now Fluid is "just" a sysext and people could even uninstall the 
extension, thus making the new BE login and the installer not usable 
anymore.

So, there are two things I think we should address:

* If we're going with Fluid for the Installer + Login, then it should 
not depend on much (Fluid should probably not even depend on ExtBase)

* If we're going with Fluid, then it most definitively should have a 
"required" flag in the Extension List (like CMS). After all, pibase 
which belongs to the required "cms" extension, is included all the time 
as well.

If anyone is willing to help out to get this in 4.3 (the final mockups 
for the new installer design and the login design are there!), let me 
know. I got tons on my plate anyways that should go in 4.3, so any help 
here is appreeciated :)

We were also thinking of using Extbase for the installer, but this looks 
like a task for 4.4 for now :)

All the best,
Benni.
