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.
