That's exactly my point here. In most companies I know of, controlling is as
important as production, because sometimes it's good to have people who say
"no".

@Steffen: If you could get rid of unnecessary stuff that is not going to
work in IE6, you guys would even get a huge +1 for the design work itself,
because this will be a big step forward for the user experience. Even if
there still would be some minor bugs to fix this would be no big deal,
because this is exactly what the code cleanup team has been setup for. - So
much for the "What"

But (and this is why you got the -1s) for me the "How" - which is the
technical part - currently is completely unacceptable, because you have been
introducing incompatible stuff where this was not necessary at all.

So don't take me wrong: I really do appreciate the work of everybody here,
but sometimes I feel obliged to step in before things are drifting off.
Especially when it is breaking stuff for the clientele that is lifting TYPO3
to the enterprise level, we have to handle things with much more care.

BTW: If you run into problems with certain browser bugs while implementing
the new design, feel free to file an issue at the tracker of the code
cleanup team, because this is what this team has been setup for.

Cheers

Joey
