I have a typo3_ext directory since years now.
Its in the same directory as the typo3 sources and
is symlinked to /typo3/ext
Would be really nice to get rid of this symlink.

Some thoughts/issues:
1. Some extensions dont_work, if they are not in
    typo3/ext or typo3conf/ext but in a symlinked
    Directory - especially some plugins with BE-Modules
2. On my dev-server, all plugins in the symlinked
    typo3/ext are under subversion control
3. When writing a patch, I often forget,
    that typo3/ext is symlinked - later on
    my patch removes typo3/ext/README ...
4. On my live-server, I also have a symlinked
    typo3/ext. (Security-) Updates are much easyier
    then, if you have many Typo3-sites with one
    symlinked global ext directory.
