After participating in this discussion here and staying in contact with
some guys from other agencies, I'd like to inform all those involved in
the discussion what I plan to do:

Besides the discussion here in the core list, I got some direct feedback
from other agencies here in Switzerland that they see the same issues
with the lifecycle of TYPO3 that I mentioned here in the discussion.

We're currently planning to meet and discuss this. Our goals for this
meeting are:

a) collect and discuss our needs (e.g. how the TYPO3 release-cycle
should be so that it supports us as agencies best)

and at least as important since complaining-and-hoping alone doesn't work:

b) discuss possible solutions on how we can acheive this to happen, how
we can support the Core-Team

I'll provide an update here as soon as the meeting happened (we're
seeking a date right now).

Best wishes,
Mario
