I use TV together with mininews and a couple of my own extensions. They
all share this folder without any problem.

If problem happens, it means it is a bug.

Well, I thought it could be a separate entry in the "pages" table. It
would be much easier and more logical to have a dedicated folder for TV
data. But after studying code I understood why "storage folder" was
chosen: it is really easy and cheap to obtain it from typo3 core. Much
easier and cheaper than any other field. In other words, it is
performance-related.

Many GRSP is not an option because will break many other extensions.

Not sure...
