In a bitcoin-dev discussion, Jeff Garzik highlighted the negative impact of refactors, stating that branches of the source tree are being maintained by software engineers at home, startups, and major companies. However, there is a need to understand why these branches are being maintained and what features are present in them that Bitcoin Core doesn't have.
