I'm fine about the blog post but even if I read it, I would probably
forget about the problem during an update some time later...

This situation shows two essential problems of TYPO3 and RealUrl (but
also other extensions):

- RealUrl has a dependency on "typo3 (4.2.6-0.0.0)" - this means "all
  future versions"
- Even if this was fixed and the dependency was up to 4.2.99 only, the
  problem would still arise since TYPO3 does not recheck these
  dependencies once it is installed.

My suggestion is to do the following:
- Make "0.0.0" in version check to become an equivalent for version
"4.2.99". Any future version, but also the kickstarter, should no longer
use "0.0.0" as a version requirement. It is nonsense, and as you see in
Firefox for example, other programs do it better than we.

- Additionally, the dependency check is added to the reports module, so
everyone can check if there is a conflict of his RealUrl version with
the new TYPO3core version.

Both problems should be fixed anyway in order to be safe in the future.

As I said: Posting about the problem is good, but we should probably do
a bit more than this...
