Hi Dmitry,

I understand that Steffen suggestion enforce a published obsolescence :

The use of Doktype 5 is obsolete since TYPO3 version 3.7.

See changelog:

2004-04-19  Kasper Skårhøj
* Added a checkbox to the page header in the "cms" extension called 
"Hide in menu". With this checkbox the page is excluded from menus on 
the totally same terms as doktype=5 ("Not in menu") does. The 
implementation is believed to be complete (although there might be some 
places overlooked). The checkbox renders the doktype 5 "Not in menu" 
obsolete; the idea is that the checkbox should be used in the future.


Almost 4 years ago... Aren't we in the future?  :)
