How would a better state look like?
One of the things that I'd really like to see is a better (as in: more transparent and better documented) decision making process. I think that this is at the heart of what upsets many people (including myself) - the fact that nobody really knows who has decided to do X or Y and by whose authority.
Take 3.9 for example - to me, it's not surprising that some actions are perceived as somebody driving their personal agenda if even the big ticket items on the 3.9 TODO list have no clear indication how they ended up there and who decided by which means (other than screaming the loudest) that they'd get into that release. (the same is true for any past-SqC release btw - I am simply choosing 3.9 because it's the current one and -for me- one of the most confusing in this regard)
And that of course is part of the state of the community right now - namely that the processes by which these decisions happen are complete mysteries even to people who like to think of themselves (perhaps wrongly) as part of the "initiated" (like myself). I can honestly say that I have no idea whatsoever what the decision processes look like at this point.
