Others already answered to your questions, but I want to add something for 
clarification: the vision

We - the active contributor, thus the active devs - are well aware of the 
current limitations and the technological deeps of the current TYPO3 CMS 
core.
That means that we will not change or rewrite TCEmain or TCEforms. That 
would break to much.
Also we will try to create an easy transition for extensions, meaning we 
will only break stuff if the core can be replaced with little work.
Of course we are not bound to this, but that can be seen as the main idea.

For the new concepts and the radical rewritten approaches, we have Flow 
(Framework) and Neos (CMS).

We will try to converge CMS with Flow/Neos further and further, see also 
Berlino Manifesto:
http://typo3.org/roadmap/berlin-manifesto/
(TYPO3 v5 is the code name of TYPO3 Flow/Neos)

We hope that we can arrange an integration of Flow and CMS in TYPO3 7.0 (in 
about a year), but we are not sure if this will work out.
The idea is, that you can use any Flow package (including Neos) alongside of 
CMS. Then you can write your custom code with Flow, but still use CMS for 
the parts that you need - getting the best of both worlds. But this is still 
far future.

Nevertheless, we will try to implement (composer) package support in TYPO3 
CMS 6.2 LTS (most likely without graphical management tool). That would mean 
that you could use any composer lib inside CMS 6.2 (e.g. doctrine).

And of course we will continue to cleanup the backend and to rewrite some of 
the modules to extbase/fluid.

The vision document has not been published as far as I know, but you can 
read the main points in the protocols of the active contributor meetups 
(ACME).

I really suggest that you take a look at Flow, because I really think that 
you will find there what you want :)
