Jepp, that's right, but it contains only site templates (like GLÜCK) but 
not things like content(default).

Anyway: Removing static templates will break many installations. Without 
an upgrade utility we can't do that.

That leads to another point: IMHO the Install Tool needs an "upgrade" 
section where the user gets an overview of all that needs to be done on 
a Core update: "Update required tables - COMPARE", "Dump static data - 
IMPORT" and something like "Migrate wizard" that takes care of adopting 
the TYPO3 installations to changes like the one this thread is about.

That means:
	-1 as long as the Install Tool doesn't have an "Update Wizard"
	+1 if someone makes such a wizard.

cheers,
