We all have plans for many things, no doubt, but I was talking about the 
here an now for a proposed change for 4.2. But as it is now it I'm not 
entirely happy with it.

I only suggested a way to enhance it, Dmitry suggested another.

Why? Dmitry's and my proposal are way from impossible or even hard to do.

I'm really grateful that you guys take care of the UI. Yet I 'm worried 
that you think of it as a playground that you can shift around as you 
like. But you cannot!

Many editors need training and in a commercial context you cannot allow 
the UI to change every time. This will disturb editors, require 
additional training which in turn will in turn be a problem for those in 
charge of finance.

If TYPO3 is to be an enterprise CMS it has to be stable and predictable. 
and ever shifting UI is not.

So here's a -1 to allow UI changes in the 4.2.x branch in advance ;-)
