Because of the complicated construction, I agree. However, I do not think
that it's not possible that one day DAM can have a broad development team
like TYPO3 has.

The root of the news+++ Extension was truely a different one (which I still
don't understand). However, it was definitely not the reason of the key
developer being unavailable for any sort of input.

After two years of frustration, I understand Bens initiative.

I don't think that a similar situation will happen ever again in TYPO3 land.
But I really hope that your initiative will become a success in common.
