Joey,

there are enough people here in the list and did make responses that
have the right to say something. it' not all about direct donation in
terms of $$$. The V4 (core) people  really keep TYPO3 alive in terms of
submitting extensions, managing  the mailinglists, managing the IRC  
channel,
providing patches to core V4,  developing extensions for V4, patching an
releasing new versions of V4. All these people have a right to say  
something
after all it's there investment into there future, if they have  
stomach itches
about FLOW3 then they can say that.
If it wasn't for them, TYPO3 would have been dead.
