The fact that it works today doesn't mean it not necessary to maintain, code that works still needs to be maintained, upgraded, increase security and patch stuff. All this needs funding.
Good thing bitcoin is a positive feedback loop
The more stuff is added the more maintaining and patching is needed. When Dorsey says “more secure” “more private” the implication is that new code will be added to make it that way.
A lot of people don’t want that.
More secure can just mean updated and maintained code. Any different changes has to be approved by the community.
More code screw up will necessitate more patches in the future
I'm not talking about more code, more code is new stuff. I'm talking maintenance and mostly focused on security.
In the context Jack was puting maintenance was to push privacy stuff in the base layer which would #Bitcoin transparency and auditability. I agree with have #Bitcoin devs maintening the code and only update if necessary btw not all updates are good some updatres can be a downgrade to #Bitcoin.
*Which would kill Bitcoin privacy, I mean
