This is a very realistic view on things-as-they-are.

So there are parts of community engaged in Squeak projects which have  
commercial value or with Squeak being used in a business sense, no?

I do not disagree 100% but when a team reached a situation that they can  
only team if they are helped then the helper is the team? Can this be a  
self-condradiction or cyclic or spirals, or be avoided?

How/what did the v3dot10 release team receive help after Ralph no longer  
responded to the v3dot10 list. I'd appreciate the other candidates also  
post their view on the v3dot10 project and team.

Right. But when the helpers are voluntary helpers then this can just be  
another cycle in the spiral.
