Uh, that is getting philosophical. :) Are you sure that "The login to
the backend is a frontend page"? Just because there is no BE-User?

Why does it then uses the BE-skin and also BE-authentication methods?
What sense would there be in having "cObj" available there?

I agree that we might need a "RTE parsing" someday, but this is
something that we might need in general, so something like
"parseFunc_RTE" should also be available in the backend. We shouldn't
need to load the FE anytime we need to render a RTE field.

Other than the RTE field I see no dependency of the sys_news to the
"cms" extension.

It's not commited and not even in the issue tracker of extdeveval [1].
We should solve that ASAP.

Ok, maybe you could regenerate the sprites then, or make the development
version of extdeveval (from Steffen Ritter, I guess) available somewhere.
