Some of the most highly skilled technical people working on Bitcoin Core =
have been doing exactly that! The main incentive, of course, is that =
later on you get to work on something that=92s actually pleasant to work =
on rather than a whole bunch of garbled crap that doesn=92t work =
properly.

However, the great irony is that the devs who have long since recognized =
the importance of fixing these issues have also tended to be loathe to =
touching any of the consensus code unless it fixes some critical =
immediately exploitable security hole=85while the devs who most clamor =
for consensus code changes have tended to all but ignore these issues =
entirely.

I sometimes wish it were the other way around.
