IMHO patches can solve some local bugs or strange behavior (if you have a
CLA signed), but the architecture of the framework cannot be adjusted by
some random patches.
For example, the Zend_Controller_Front class is a singleton, and the use of
singleton is widely spread across the framework; this makes testing a
mess... Reset view helpers, session handlers that goes wild... But if
Zend_Controller_Front were not a singleton, many classes would cease to
work, because their design does not ask for dependencies from router,
helpers, etc. but pulls them from front controller with a ::getInstance()
call. To fix various action/view helpers and plugins is very difficult
without a overall vision, because of the dependencies. See:
