But extensions have the exact same "problem". Normally then you first prepare
core functions and then change the skin itself (maybe with two patches at the same time
referring to each other). So the core patch is merged before the skin patch. It's more
work for Vector skin, yes, but i want to ask (really, i don't know this fact): How
often this happens?

This is bad.
I do occasional work on Vector. This means I sometimes have to change stuff in core that
interacts with Vector as well. This is now impossible because they now live in two
different repositories, and I can no longer create a single patch.
I now have to submit two patches and hope they both get merged at the exact same time.
I regard skins as part of core. It may look more organized to split skins off, but core
functionality should live in the core repository.
