[TYPO3-ect] News about XCLASSES?

[Michael Stucki]

Is the Extension Coordination Team really the right group to support any
future work on the XCLASS principle?

In my opinion this supports exactly the opposit of our main goal:
Coordination between extensions. This includes that changes should be sent
back to the author of an extension instead of being forked with the help of
an XCLASS.

I think the goal of us should be that no extensions use XCLASSes anymore,
instead they are _only_ used by target users who want to quickly change a
behaviour without modifying upstream files.

Just my two cents. I'm curious about other opinions.
