As a Core developer of CakePHP, I'll tell you that the community at large loves major releases more than they like stability. Something about using the newest toy really gets a lot of people going. We actually have had quite a few developers tell us our framework is dead, despite ongoing development on a new major release and monthly minor/patch releases for the current stable line for 3+ years. I can't comment on Laravel though, as my only experience with it was a negative one. I had a rejected bugfix for which Taylor decided to ignore the PHP documentation I linked to verifying the issue, and several other developers saying they have experienced the issue/would like to see my PR merged in. I think it'll stay a popular PHP framework until the next popular framework comes around (CI => FuelPHP => Laravel).

The vocal community is likely in the realm of 5-10% of the actual active userbase. You should cater to most of your users, not just the bored ones. Your framework is dead because you've continued to prove that you don't understand what PHP 5.3+ is and means. I say that as someone who has been forced to use CakePHP for ~10 years. You've always lagged far behind in the concepts that other frameworks have down pat.
