Well, certainly some extensions having additional code in ext_tables.php
would not run any more. However I think that is the extension author's
fault and a misuse of ext_tables.php. He could easily move his
configuration code into ext_localconf.php as well.

I agree your proposal is the much better solution, however it is very
much more difficult than this easy function. It is logical that tables
extended by extensions should always have all fields in TCA - in BE as
well as in FE. This is because also the database table's fields are
always the same and you never will get only a subpart of them if you use
the '*' in a select query.

Greets,

Franz
