Description
OTRS Ticket ID: 2010042610000013
Files like Changelog, README, NEWS.txt etc. that are publicly visible
allow easy scanning for vulnerable TYPO3 or extension versions.
So TYPO3's default .htaccess should deny access to these files by default.

We agreed, that this would not help much. It would still fairly easy be possible to track the TYPO3 and extension versions

I still think that it would help in making fingerprinting harder.
