That's a very pessimistic view and not at all what is currently planned 
and envisioned. Prior to T3DD12 there was a Core Team meeting. The devs 
working on TYPO3 CMS and the devs working on Neos explicitly agreed that:
- there is only one Core Team; some members work more on a certain 
product or certain features, others work on other parts
- both products will converge; this means that functionality of either 
product will be built in the other procuct
- new features will be created for both products; for each feature we 
will see if the implementation can be shared somehow

There is a tool available (work in progress obviously) to convert 
content from TYPO3 CMS to Neos.

In every aspect the goal is that it will become easier and easier to 
convert TYPO3 CMS sites to Neos in the future.

As soon as Neos contains the features you need for a web site you can 
take the jump earlier and rebuild the website based on Neos. If you wait 
a bit long the conversion will become easier.

By no means will the TYPO3 CMS become a product which only receives 
bugfixes but will be left to die; at least not soon. The time frame 
really depends on the speed of the development of Neos, packages for 
Neos, the conversion tools, etc.
The more sites will use Neos instead of TYPO3 CMS the more effort will 
go into Neos.
