Thanks for the update (great to see Michiel being in charge); sticking 
to the above discussion, we're then back to the expectation that this 
still is to be announced/confirmed AND supported by the T3A.

As for TYPO3 v5 and it's JSR 170+ implementation I'm aware that DAM in 
it's current form MIGHT only be needed for TYPO3 v4.
However on the timeline I feel that we will "live" for another 3-7 years 
with TYPO3 v4 installations needing DAM-functionality.

looking forward DAM 1.1
