Well, it is the same compatiblity as with using PHP for both v4 and v5: it is compatible because it is PHP. In this sense Zend Framework or CodeIgniter is also compatible with FLOW3 :)

Extbase implements some concepts from FLOW3 but naming is different, no namespaces, etc. It is NOT compatible in the sense that you can take it with Extbase and reuse easily in FLOW3.

That's very far fetched in my opinion. See my PHP example above.

I prefer to be realistic instead of over optimistic.

Yes.
