Hello Юрий.

You are right! There are many places in the OTRS backend code like this. 
Unfortunately this is not an easy change at hand. We are currently focusing on 
a rewrite of the frontend with modern technology. This will already replace 
much legacy code. The backend will follow later.

Best regards,

Martin Gruner
