I don't understand your question.

The reference code is currently version 0.9.3.  Clearly bitcoin IS evolving.  It is different than it was last year, and it is even more different than it was the year before that.  New versions of the code continue to come out.

As for anything else (such as merchant adoption), you are the "bitcoin community".  If you are asking what the "bitcoin community" is doing about convincing more merchants to accept bitcoin, then you are asking what YOU are doing about convincing more merchants to accept bitcoin.  I can not answer that for you, because you have not yet told me what you are doing.  Why would you ask me what you are doing?

Honestly, I suspect you are just trolling.  I really should know better than to feed the trolls around here.  It just attracts more of them.
