Yes, of course. But I've hoped that in this newsgroup the holy cow had 
been banned ;)

Seriously, this is probably a rather simple upgrade: Move all records 
the subfolder and for every tt_content plugin that has empty PID or the 
same PID as the plugin is in, change the pid accordingly. Probably a SQL 
one-liner. I don't see how it would require extension changes (unless 
some author b0rked his ext), not that I would care...

The clipboard needs some serious attention anyway - the distinction 
between normal and #1 is also rather confusing. And a drag'n'drop 
clipboard would be nice, too.

I don't care much for TV but I hope it is possible that the TV page 
module replaces the normal one rather than add to the list.

Yep, that's what we're here for.
