Currently almost all extensions require you to specify a "storage
folder" where their items are stored in. This is either a TS-property or
a flexform field or a tt_content field, which you cannot find
automatically. Some are either able to find items recursively in the
tree and have that recursion abort after a certain level. This would
potentially break if the items are moved one level below.

Agreed.

I would also hope for a "unified" page module which "modern" templates
and "futuristic" templates might use. The functionality is almost the
same and too bad it has to be duplicated.
