CodeIgniter 4 Proposed Roadmap

I've been flirting with CodeIgniter and Laravel for ages... I really like the way CodeIgniter is so simple but what makes me insane is the fact that modules can't talk to each other... I understand that we can use HMVC but shouldn't it be part of the core? I mean is someone doing real world applications with modules that work independently rather then working together?

After some study I managed to used wiredesignz HMVC and turn Ion Auth into a module but the speed of doing this and my will to use CI would greatly improved if this was core and therefore well supported and documented.

Is there a good reason not to use HMVC? Maybe I am not seeing something in the right way.

In pratical terms I want to use a PHP framework but I am afraid that people use it more to be hipster then to be productive.

At the end of the day I am forced to use WordPress, prestashop (which uses HMVC by the way and it has a really nice concept regarding modules) or just to use a couple of routers and loggin system to get a specific job done quickly without trying to understand what I can and can't do with a framework.

If a PHP framework focuses on productivity it will be a success and one day there would be a "WordPress" on top of CI that everyone will use

But then again maybe I am just thinking too much commercially and about productivity and frameworks are supposed to just stay like this to try now and then but never to use it in a real project.
