Just to make it clear: I actually think that the work that Stanislas has 
done on the migration was absolutely outstanding. But he had to 
basically rewrite all JavaScript in the Core while doing that, which is 
of course a huge job. Therefore, even if his work was outstanding, we're 
still in a situation that there are enough loose ends to keep him (or 
anyone else) busy for another 1-2 months.

Therefore, what I propose is to skip the ExtJS 4 migration for 4.7, 
shift away from ExtJS slowly, but use the migrated and working parts in 
TYPO3 4.8 and onwards with ExtJS 4 for widgets where it makes sense.
