Problem is simply that there is no playground for those really 
interesting concepts. FLOW3 could be used but there is nothing "outside" 
as v5 does not exist even as alpha. Thank to Extbase, we can use those 
concepts in v4.

Now I see it quite clear that the "bridging attitude" will grow more and 
more if v5 does not start to exist. And I understand your concerns about 
going too far. For me the "risk" is that 4.5 (according to todays 
tendency to have huge release cycles) become kind of v5 as concepts are 
backported to v4. Again, the problem is that FLOW3 (and the rest) 
without some real "support" (v5 is the targeted support) stay only 
pretty ideas "on paper".

I know that they want to provide a great framework, great ideas, new 
paradigms and the rest but during the elapsed time, people want to use 
these stuff and although all those great stuff could be used "outside" 
for "other projects", their main use, their target is and should remain v5.

As long as v5 team does not start really to work on v5 and give quickly 
some real results regarding v5 itself and not the underlying framework, 
component, ... then the bridging attitude will grow. At least, it's how 
I see it and I understand it as I'm the first wanting to benefit from 
what was done "for" v5.
