[TYPO3-dev] Moving old "static templates" to a sysext

[Stephane Schitter]

Hello,

I didn't follow the whole discussion, but for info I created a while  
ago that extension that has all the default static templates - you'll  
find it in TER as defaultstatic_tmpl as removing them from the core  
has been on the plate for a while.

Regards,
Stephane
