Masi, you're right. Making a concrete decision now - at a point where we 
don't exactly know what will come it feature - is not easy...

But one thing is sure: FLOW3 will be stable one day and a working 
example is announced for the T3CON08 in October 2008. Since the 
FLOW3/5.0 project is financed by the TYPO3 Association you could look at 
this as a very big "sponsored project". That also ensures, that FLOW3 
must pass the accordant needs on consistency, performance and availability.

A meetings of the v4 and v5 team is planned where such issues will be 
discussed to prevent reinventing the wheel in the both major development 
branches. Core team members will be notified and invited in the next 
days/weeks. Ingmar and Robert are going to take care of that...

For the time being we have to following possibilites:
1) Analyse the existing v4 projects/extensions (e.g. lib/div, oelib, 
tcaobjects, cal, and much more) and create an "extbase" as alternative 
for the current tslib_pibase
2) Analyse FLOW3 and determine why performance currently is too low and 
also find out if there are parts of FLOW3 we currently don't need and 
maybe can speed up the whole thing. However, the v4/v5 meeting should be 
awaited to discuss and appoint further actions.
