If someone fixed an age old bug for example, you can respond with "cool" 
(as in 'excellent'). But if used in the meaning of 'hip', 'fashionable' 
we should probably rethink the the thing that was so "cool" :-)

TYPO3 probably wants to be reliable, stable, feature rich (buzzword?), 
etc., but certainly not hip or fashionable.

Maybe it's better to use words that many people understand. Paradigm, 
you mean pattern? Or a theoretical framework?

The problem with buzzwords is that the words are being used in 
situations where they are not appropriate and after some time they lost 
their meaning.
