ok, there a lot of thirparty apps out there than can provide new
features, but they need a rock solid base to be totally cool

Not totally agree here, some(a lot of) effort must be done in current
specific gta02 , a clear example is the "famous" glamo chipset, you are
the only ones who can improve it due NDA as some one else has pointed,
you must struggle(even more) this chipset to extract until the last drop
of it juice.

just work on the basics as you have pointed, and the basic is all
hardware must work without any blocking bug(alas stability) and inside
this stability do it as fast as phisicaly posible.
Fancy apps will come from the community and porting from other distros,
thats the magic on free source :)
