    [!!!][TASK] Drop "documentation" extension · e139c972
    Christian Kuhn authored
    The docs team is working on a new docs.typo3.org rendering
    chain that can come with some new long awaited features.
    One blocker is the core internal documentation extension
    that needs various hard to maintain resources from
    docs.typo3.org.
    
    The suggested solution was to drop the backend inline
    manual fetching and display and thus obsolete the
    extension.
    
    For v8 and below, the 'latest' state of the various
    json, xml and zip files the extension relies on, will
    be frozen by the docs team to not break the module.
    
    The documentation extension has various flaws, it for
    instance tends to download outdated manual versions, the
    acceptance within the community is not very high
    and people are used to look up latest docs online.
    
    The patch drops ext:documentation from the core to
    free up the docs team from maintaining the clumsy
    requirements at some point in time entirely.
