Hello Dmitry,

Remember that your secondary thing could be my primary one. Someone not 
using TV don't care about it or someone could say that RealURL is 
useless because he don't see the SEO advantage or readability of it 
since he's the admin of a 100% private intranet...

Sometimes I presume CoreDEV fix small and almost invisible bug just 
because they happen while doing something else.

Sure, if we put our "management glasses" and see all the "horse power" 
used for things for us that looks silly or unimportant, we can feel like 
you but we must stay realistic.

It could be worst. Think about a TYPO3 Fork ! Look at all those Linux 
distros or even the 866 CMSes listed at http://cmsmatrix.org/ .

If only 1% of the dev doing their own PHP CMS joined the TYPO3 project...

So yes, OSS is driven by hitches (as Kasper pointed out in 2006). 
Nothing we can really do about it except raising a few millions euros to 
constitute a "real" IT project with management included and priorities 
set for getting even more money...

Have a nice weekend,

Patrick
