Yes, that's also one feature I think worth considering for 4.5! First
we'll see if it proves to be real rock stable and good in 4.6 and later
we can think making a stable backport for 4.5.

The TYPO3v4 Core has a policy of "no new features" in released versions,
but we will do exceptions especially in 4.5 LTS in cases of "performance
gain" and where the backwards compatibility can be guaranteed. I can
imagine having some kind of "release candidate" to make it possible for
a bigger audience to test if it doesn't break anything before doing an
official 4.5.x release with this kind of addition.

Sure, I agree with that!

Cheers,
Ernesto
