Looks like mm relations for pages types will be a core feature in TYPO3
4.1. The TYPO3 Core Team Newsgroup mentions[1] that Michael Scharkow
would like to normalize page types. I guess this mean that a page would
have the possibility of becoming multiple page types. That sounds like
it could be a really great thing since pages are becoming a bit more
multi purpose.
