Hey Dmitry,

For compatibility is correct, but we have to draw a line between:

* Compatibility with TYPO3 3.8 and
* Compatibility with Webstandards in 2000

Same goes for the static_templates :). I think we should break the holy 
cow at some point, otherwise TYPO3 will really become bloated. We should 
come up with something like:
If deprecated two major releases before (e.g. 4.0) then it's allowed to 
remove it with the next version (v 4.2). The discussion should be at the 
point where something becomes deprecated and not when it's about to be 
removed (so it's a clear workflow).

About the DB fields: I created this patch because I think of projects 
where you have 10.000 tt_content records. If every record has 5 fields 
less in the DB (doesn't matter if the field is set to "0" or "1"), 
wouldn't the less amount of data (on disk) as well as a minimal speed 
improvement be the results?
