TYPO3 Core

In the update wizard we now have a "workspace migration" wizard. When trying to perform it I got an error that the "sys_workspace_stage" table didn't exist. The problem is that the update wizard installs both "versioning" and "workspaces" but the related tables are not created. Is this a known issue? Was there already any thinking about how to solve it best?

It's actually worse than expected: the new "workspaces" extension requires "extbase". If that is not installed the wizard script will fail. So "extbase" should also be loaded by the wizard (which means more tables to create). The same should be done for "fluid", since it is used by "workspaces", although not necessary during the update process.

Shouldn't this update process be split up? There could be a first wizard which installs the "workspaces" extension and instructs users to perform a compare database operation and a second wizard that actually migrates the workspaces. The second wizard would be hidden (is that possible?) or at least disabled until the first wizard has been executed.
