Good point, the number of reported bugs is really huge.

However, the bugs shouldn't hold ourselves back from starting to develop
the next big thing, TYPO3 5.0.

I think the TYPO3 community is big enough to continue the development in
two branches:
    4.x branch where only bugs are solved and minor features implemented
    5.x branch where a radically new architecture is created

At the moment, the base for this coexistance is already granted by the
differentiation between "core-team" and "R&D committee". The core-team
is the one that maintains the 4.x stuff and the R&D-committee fosters
the 5.0 development.

cheers
