[TYPO3-core] After the LTS is before the LTS

[Helmut Hummel]

Hi Dave!

Thank you for your comments. The changes proposed are important enough 
to listen to everybody and take arguments into account.

I however kindly ask you to re-consider your tone when voicing your 
opinon. There is no need and no place for bashing and blaming in our 
community. Instead we strive for a considerate and respectful 
collaboration.[2]


To the topic:

We started a discussion on it in this list a month ago and asked for 
feedback. We posted a news on typo3.org[1], had a session on that topic 
at the TYPO3 Developer days, Ernesto presented the idea on an agency 
meetup[3] and Xavier during T3UNI in France.

We invited everybody to "work on that together!"

The feedback we got, was merged into the blueprint.

After quite a while of silence around this topic, we wanted to proceed 
further and asked for final feedback in terms of a voting.

I'm always happy to hear constructive feedback on how the above process 
could have been improved. Feel free to come up with some suggestions.

As outlined above, before we started a voting, we invited everybody to 
participate in discussion and even in changing parts of the blueprint.

We also never stopped to emphasize that nothing is "carved in stone".

That said, I would be happy to read a "counter blueprint" and further 
suggestions how to improve the further development and release strategy 
of TYPO3 CMS. You and everybody else is invited to write one.

The bluprint as outlined above has only one goal: To strengthen TYPO3 
CMS and the TYPO3 ecosystem in the near and further future.
Let's make this happen.

Kind regards,
Helmut
