[TYPO3-v4] Extension Mangager Issues (reloaded)

[Helmut Hummel]

Hi,

sorry for not following the minutes, but here are my comments in regard 
of the EM.

These two options do not fit together. If we refactor the new with the 
potential to break the old, why add the possibility to switch to a 
potentially broken EM?

I know the EM is a "monster" and it is not easy to handle the situation. 
But just hiding the old EM, is no solution (and has been voted down by 
some people already)!

If the issues are addressed until RC1 (by who ever) I'm fine with having 
the new EM active by default. If not, we have to live with the old EM a 
little bit longer.

Kind regards,
Helmut
