Hi Joerg,

the whole proceeding shows the difficulties with closed lists and with
closed teams and with so called elites at all. From their mighty position
they make extensive decisions before they even start to think. As soon as
a proposal comes from outside it is not their own idea, so it has to be
bad and reflexions happen before thinkings happen. PEAR has a systematic
system of pathes, PEAR has a working forms lib. From their reactions
it seams to me they fear it.

Looks as if the TYPO3 core team could be in a better state. The leading
heads of TYPO3 didn't even understand problem. Maybe it's time to look out
for an alternative. :-)

Regards

Elmar
