Nobody forces anybody to do anything. Providing Extbase and Fluid gives 
you a possibility. No more, no less.

There we have Google trends again. It's pretty unclear what it actually 
shows, but from what I understood it represents a geographically biased 
representation of the relative use of that term in all Google search 
actions.
Can you explain the graphs for "potatoes", "knife"? Why are they popular 
at the end of the year? Why is "music" in a downward trend?

Ehm... the security team contacts the authors, the authors fix the 
problem, the security team removes the affected versions from TER and 
send out a security bulletin.

And that is why I didn't want to give you predictions and promises. I 
have no idea where you got that "official" position from!?!?

Yes, the easiest way is to contact the team via forge.
