I do not think it is right. Just Git could not kill activity, enthusiasm or 
wish to make changes. I think we should look for other reasons.

Personally, I am interested in more "professional" development of TYPO3. 
I.e. having a small core team (5-7 people max), which has TYPO3 development 
as their main job. I understand that it is not possible financially but 
that would speed up the development and improve the quality. Think of it 
like something similar to Django.
