But you can't really use extbase from 4-6 on 4-5 anyway, I guess.
And you can't "just download it from TER" and install it using EM.

If you happen to hack an extbase-version from 4.6 with 4.5 somehow, your
setup is "unsupported" anyway and might lead to strange problems. I
guess that holds true for a number of sysexts (which are only really
tested/targeted to the X.Y-release they ship with.)
