[TYPO3-hci] Drag and Drop

[Lars Thalheim]

The topic was, whether the feature is to be extended and to be included into
the core.

It is one thing to have a GUI locally installed on a multi gigabyte
computer. But it is another thing to transfer all the program code and all
the additional scripts via the internet (even in times of high speed data
links). Also all the additional PHP code needs to be processed on the
webserver.

So I stick with it: keep the core free from "unnessessary" features. I don't
say, that they're useless. I just say, pertain a possibility not to have the
overhead when you don't need the feature.
