[TYPO3-dev] The extbase dilemma

I only can speak for myself, but I think the whole Extbase team in 
general doesn't have much (to none) experience with such enterprise 
level solutions - so how should we take care of the requirements for 
those? Why doesn't anyone having that knowledge and getting big rewards 
for those enterprise solutions join the team then? Complaining alone 
doesn't help. I don't say that starting this discussion was wrong - it's 
appreciated and sometimes you need a slap in the face to get new 
impulses, but instead of digging the hole deeper and deeper let's better 
use the time wasted writing and reading those novels about how Extbase 
sucks and let's change it.

I personally joined the team because I like developing with Extbase and 
like to give something back, although I'm no studied coder and only have 
self-educated coding "skills". I'm eager to learn new concepts, am 
willing to share the knowledge I gained so far and try to help others as 
much as I can if time allows.

Reading about bugfixes and patch requests not beeing applied is of 
course sad to hear, but as stated before we're drastically lacking man 
power here and the switch to Gerrit didn't help here either (I'm 
personally still not used to it). Currently we're all trapped by either 
our jobs or other projects, so any help is highly welcome.
