[TYPO3-core] RFC #17260: Bug: Installation of version/workspaces cannot be skipped in migration wizard

[Tolleiv.Nietsch]

Hi,

+1 by reading an testing // never though that people actually don't want 
workspaces ;)

1) Agree - skip would be better but I'd also go with your solution for now

2) Only few people can distinguish versioning and workspaces. In 
earilier discussions, within the Workspaces team, we found that the 
"basic" setup should bring both and TYPO3 should leave the option to 
deinstall workspaces later on.

3) Good catch - thanks for including it / shouldn't this be a separate 
commit as followup to #17182 ?

Cheers,
Tolleiv
