Goodbye ext_emconf.php, you've now been completely removed from the core.

I never liked having to maintain both ext_emconf.php and composer.json.
Starting with version 14, that's now a thing of the past. Thanks @helhum !

@ErHaWeb @helhum If I read this correctly composer.json files of extension need a version property though (not catched by Git tag/ Composer version management)?

Well, ext_emconf.php needed a version property for basic dependency management in non Composer managed TYPO3 installations.

If you have an idea where to put this info, I'm open to it.

Extensions that are only scoped for Composer managed TYPO3 installations can omit the ext_emconf.php for a while now.

One step at a time brought us a long way to where we are. From no Composer support at all, to almost full Composer compatibility and compliance 😅
