This is why Masi suggested you to write an update-script. I have no
problem with the outcome you suggest, but for the upgrade we cannot
simply hide fields which weren't hidden before. This requires the admin
to manually modify all ACL's he might have created, this is error prone.
This has to be done by the upgrade wizard (add both fields as "allowed"
to all existing ACLs, if user has write-permissions on pages table).

So if you provide such an upgrade wizard, your change will probably be
accepted.

About your be-login-skin ext, I have no real inside on that matter. But
I guess there was no real API that said in the core that the login
screen is "skinnable". So while it is sad that your extension no longer
works, it probably wasn't supposed to be used like that anyway.

Cheers,
