> TYPO3 features the functionality of "system extensions" (located under
> "typo3/sysext/") - extensions that come with the Core. Then, there are
> "global" extensions, which can be put under "typo3/ext/". This is useful if
> you have a third-party-extension that you want to distribute to multiple
> installations (like e.g. tt_news back then in 3.6) that *you* download and
> install there. This feature is really only helpful if you have 1 TYPO3 source,
> that multiple installations are using, but comes with the price that you need
> to copy all your global extensions when updating TYPO3 from 4.5.12 to 4.5.13.
> Then you have the "local" extensions under "typo3conf/ext/", - your
> installation-specific extensions, which I guess, all of you are using.
> 
> We are currently think of dropping the "global" extension concept which we
> think (but don't know for sure) is rarely used since ages, and also pretty
> much unmaintained, as we consider this feature with all the composer-bells-
> and-whistles today not useful for keeping.
> 
> So as a roundup:
> 
>  * System extensions: typo3/sysext/
>  * Your global extensions: typo3/ext/
>  * Your local extensions: typo3conf/ext/

> What I would like to know is simple:

>   Are you using the "global extension" feature currently?
