Who told that? You know that we have a pot in v4 for important
development since you also got paid for the RSAAuth feature in TYPO3
4.3. This pot is available for every core developer that likes to work
on an important feature or bugfix...

Have a look to trends: http://www.google.com/trends?q=magento%2Ctypo3 Magento guys not just market well, they have features planned and made fast and in time. In TYPO3 we have plan and no one fulfills them. This has to be changed if we want TYPO3 to keep up!

Well, the main problem is that the T3A does not have enough money to
empoly every core developer. It would be better to get new sponsors and
T3A members. There are a lot of compainies out there that built their
business on TYPO3 but are not willing to give any sponsoring back...

So, the goal is not to bash them, but to convince them, why it would be
good to invest in TYPO3.
