As a userland user also, its about much more then this, and still, if
its just for these frameworks, i'm a user of these frameworks,
anything that makes it easier for me to use them or make them faster,
i'm in for it. Like the doctrine example, adding a ORM layer on top of
my objects just by adding annotations an not extending objects and
such is a huge gain in my applications.

I'm also NOT asking myself this question, so its looks like 2:1 as
mentioned above by Tyrael

Also, discussing one interest does not stop work on all of the other
features/bugs the amount of people reading and discussing here is a
small percentage of the team that works on PHP.
