I think that every extension maintainer should use the beta phase to 
adjust the extension to the new core version. That's why it's a feature 
freeze. So devs can trust that it won't change until the final release.

Actually, it's like that in Firefox as well. You need to define a max. 
version the extension will work with when creating an extension. In the 
beta phase, the extension developers can prepare their extensions to 
make it work with the latest.

I think it'd be best if we would announce a news on typo3.org (we could 
even send a mailing out to every ext developer) about the fundamental 
changes in TYPO3 4.2 when releasing the beta and that every extdev 
should see that it would still work with the latest version.

Actually, I think it would be best if we would force every ext developer 
to set a min+max version for an extension. This way ext developers would 
check their extension with every new major version. It's kinda like a 
tightened version of the "obsolete" checkbox, but this way TER would be 
cleaner and an installation would only fetch the exts that are 
compatible with this version.
