[TYPO3-core] RFC #11828: There's no possibility to hide versioning and workspaces

Sounds good.

I haven't followed too closely the thread entitled "How can we improve 
the update process?" in the typo3.projects.typo3_4-3.general list. Did 
it come up with anything yet?

Also with every major release Thomas Esders has come up with a guide to 
new stuff, which could include instructions for upgrading. We just have 
to make sure that such document is ready for publication at the same 
time as 4.3 is released, maybe by helping Thomas write it. Then we 
inform people via the main mailing lists (English, Dev) and maybe some 
banner on the typo3.org home page.

We don't have a really universal way of communicating, so we just have 
to make as much noise as possible.

Cheers
