[TYPO3-ttnews] news2 vs tt_news -> TYPO3 CORE?

[Georg Ringer]

Hi Jordan,

first of all thanks for checking out news2 (which will maybe get a new 
ext key in some days).

Many of my websites are not about news and therefore the extension 
wouldn't be needed.

You have also not really to think which extension to use if the 
extension is a normal one.

There are many reasons against this:
- Slow update process:
	* New versions could only be shipped all 6 months
	* Every change needs to go through the core review process
- Harder to maintain:
	* Bugs need to be fixed for all versions which are currently supported, 
I wouldn't have time for that.

- Bigger core
- No benefit having it in the core

So I really believe that there is no advantage for a single user or an 
integrator if the extension would be shipped with the core.
