We need to load the Frontend TS for backward compatibility anyway, thus we 
cannot simply drop it.

I suggest to use the same file for backend and frontend configuration and 
use the well know include statements to include the file in either context.

But IMHO this is something to do on extension level.
Maybe the extension actually wants to have a very different config for 
frontend and backend - who knows.


Well, I have exams currently (until mid/late Feb) and cannot work on a 
unified API. I fear we are running short on time.


I would really appreciate if we could somehow come to a conclusion of what 
features we want and how we want to solve it in general. I would really 
prefer a central API for this instead of this mess we have now.

Cheers
