What's stopping your company from hiring one developer to do nothing but code cleanups and submitting them to GitHub? There's nothing centralized about that.
Because cleanups would require very deep reaching changes. If we hired a cleanup dev his #1 task would be "find and remove all magic numbers anywhere in the codebase". Meanwhile listen to these idiots:
gavinandresen petertodd: what would you think of a max block size set so a crappy broadband user of today could still validate and mine everything, with a limit set to increase by 20% a year (the approximate rate of bandwidth increase these days) ?
MORE MAGIC NUMBERS.
It looks more like a lost cause than anything. And no, the fact that "we're fixing it" does not impress me in the slightest, and NO, they're not handling it "like pros".
