How do contributors deal with this?
“We rewrite or refactor about 10 to 15% of WordPress in most releases, so that we can keep users getting updates and new features quickly, while doing the “ground up rebuild” incrementally in the background, fixing bugs and getting feedback as we go.”
(source: Matt’s answer in an interview with
Smashing Magazine in Feb 2014)
