This is a very bad dependency!!!!! How can the BE of the Core depend on a FE extension? This
completely brakes the concept of layers in TYPO3. We may take "cms" as granted yet it is an extension.

Sidenote: I'm disturbed that while TYPO3 v4 gets newer and better concepts into its codebase there
is no hesitation to blur the boundary of it layers. This is not the only occurrence of stuff like
that which IMHO is - sorry - a bad coding praxis.
