Let me give you an example: One contributor came up with an idea to fix a bug & add a new feature; the patch was applied without much ado. A severe regression was later identified and fixed. Even later, it turned out, that the patch very badly broke (as in, segfault) a core feature as a side effect. The original author didn't take the responsibility for it, and there is no manpower to fix it, because a proper fix requires a very substantial engineering of how things work. Now we are left in a situation where a basic feature has become unusable in a new release, and won't be fixed anytime soon. This is a real story, which unfolded over the last couple of months. So yes, this kind of bursting with extensions is a very plausible scenario. In fact, this is exactly what is going to happen if a random person is going to take over control. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
