[TYPO3-core] RFC: Bidirectioanl MM relations

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Ingmar,

IF you say that the MM-table records are in fact not deleted anymore  
when relations are changed, then it really sounds like the biggest  
obstacle to adding properties just disappears and just adding the uid/ 
pid fields and a TCA configuration would be enough to store  
properties in those records also? I understand that we need an  
interface to do this well, but what are those problems and unexpected  
behaviours you foresee?
