There is another 10+ hidden genetic flaws either in the C++ code itself or in one of the underlying libraries.

Imagine that next time instead of a fork split that can be healed, we end up leaking private key information through some side channel because of some bug in SSL libraries and the leakage gets embedded in the blockchain somehow ?

Such leakage cannot be repaired ... that will NOT be fixable and will simply lead to loss of confidence and extinction.

There's hundreds of deadly scenarios you can imagine here ...

Is anybody in the blessed circle of C++ magicians listening to this ?  

Bitcoin Foundation, is there any plan to extract the spec ?

SOMEHOW? Private keys? They're all on your client and are never transferred anywhere else.
