[TYPO3-core] "breaking" changes in minor releases?

[Christian Reiter]

Hi,

https://review.typo3.org/31694
This would break for users, that rely on the fact that all files from a 
specified directory are inlcuded, not only txt and ts files.

This is important to consider - the new code only includes ts and txt by 
default.

But for instance on many desktops a *.TS file will, or at least used to 
be, opened as DVD video by default - therefore I have seen many 
instances of "*.t3s" used for Typoscript so that this filetype can be 
specifically associated to an editor.

Also you can use permissions by filetype to allow people to edit "*.txt" 
files (readme, documentation) but not ".t3s" files (setup, configuration)

In other words, there are perfectly valid reasons to use neither *.ts 
nor *.txt so this shouldn't be a change in a minor version IMHO.
(just upgraded several 4.5 sites with lots of *.t3s Typoscript to 6.2

best regards,
