I don't know if that's ever going to happen but I personally like that idea very much and could see TYPO3 becoming an open source community developing multiple OS CMS's. No matter what will happen, we're definitely going to keep producing multiple products within TYPO3.

I'm in favour of that and could imagine the products either complementing each other or providing more different approaches to content management.
