That's correct, but they also has the necessary knowlegde. Another 
reason is that good consultancies often has experience from other large 
implementation which makes use of paid support cheaper than using days 
trying to solve the problem yourself.

I understood your point, and I used question mark. And the total 
impression the source code (not only W3C validation) is giving you, 
often indicates the knowlegde - also of TYPO3. Or lack of time.

And typo3.org/typo3.com sucks in that way.

I don't blame them, but I advice them to look closely at them and try to 
  find alternatives.

I think we have to live with that problem as long as we have nearly 4 
000 extensions, and no extensions developer has time and opportunity to 
test every possible combination.

My experience tells me it's not a good idea. Because the people that 
should make comments on "wrong" comments seldom has time to do it and 
people tends to rush to write commenents long before they even has 
checked the manual or done a search about the problem.

But if the comments could be done in a proper way, with a good 
description it could work. But to have this to work, some moderation is 
needed, and who is going to do it.

Agree that we can't have all comments in the bugtracker, but I think we 
have to look for another solutions at this point than commenting in TER.

A bug!! Change from one newsreader to another filled some field with 
wrong values. Bad import tool.
