These issues did not just appear, they are there for ages. I also talk about them for 2 years now but with no effect (well except annoying everyone). Basically this made me stop actively working on a core since the beginning of the year. There is no point sending patches if no one reviews them.

It is "free time" for the v4 team only.

I tried to push a "paid development" idea to anyone whom I could reach at t3dd. The answer from all decision making people is like "we do not want to pay for development" (I add: "...except to v5 for the last 3 years!"). The result is visible to everyone.

We also need a real testing team because relying on 1 or 2 review in a such complex system is completely  irresponsible idea, especially given a huge increase in a number of contributions. But no one listens!!! Everyone just says: "We are cool, TYPO3 is cool, all cool, T3A is cool, we will get a cool v5 soon, all is cool..." but nothing is cool for more than a year already.

I kinda tired to fight for a proper development in TYPO3. I have no idea what T3A is thinking or doing but it does not seem like they care. There is no big plan, There is no vision. There is no real steering. There is no big view on architecture, etc. After Kasper left TYPO3 moves randomly here and there. Bad for the product...

Quality issues are also a problem. Every latest release after 4.2.3 was unclean and had major quality issues.

TYPO3 needs changes and proper management if this product wants to survive!
