I understand all that but I do not like this. We add new features to 4.1 
but I do not like the idea to change API. Otherwise I can find many 
places that I want to change...

I understood that 5.0 will not be compatible with 4.0. I.e. you will 
need the whole new set of extensions. May be I am wrong...

Calm down, please, or I will have to stop discussing it :)

Are you sure no one uses it? Are you sure it will be 100% useless 
without field name? getFlexFormDS for templavoila is always known field. 
There is no need for field name if one uses it (and assumes!) only 
templavoila.

Can you give to "yes" on those questions?

To clarify again:
- current situation is bad and should be changed
- changing existing API (=function signature) is not acceptable, this is 
what I feel
- we must change core so that field name is always passed to that function
- we must not remove default value from that parameter

It perfectly solves the problem without changing API.
