believe it or not, we have talked about this *very, very much* in
detail! We didn't want to wait for beginning of january as the time
between christmas and new year was no option at all for us.

But yes, we wanted this to happen on Monday but just didn't make it. I
am sry for that.

patching/resolving the issue is really easy and can be done without any
harm once you understood it needs only an update to sysext/ext:rtehtmlarea.

In really worst case scenario your rte might be broken for a couple of
days, so nothing really to worry about.

Greets,
Peter
