For the record: I fully agree.

I could imagine a mechanism that allows for registering single 
ViewHelpers to be available in the "f" namespace.
That way we could still provide a "compat" package/extension for a grace 
period.


BTW: I just stumbled upon yet another effort from Google Summer Of Code 
2013: https://github.com/Puja0708/GSoC-TYPO3.Base (and 
https://github.com/Puja0708/GSoCNew-TYPO3.Fluid as Flow adapter).
I didn't really look into the code, but it's astonishing that we have so 
many independent takes on this. Let's collaborate! ;)
