“The core developers carry ultimate veto, and they’re notoriously cautious. ‘In general, the devs try to be very conservative. Typically, we don’t introduce new features. We just try to ensure that the existing ones work.’ That isn’t to say that new features can’t happen. There’s a mechanism called the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BPI) used to put forward proposed new features for the protocol. But it’s controlled by the core devs. ‘If we want to extend it, we’ll write up a BIP and publicise it through blogs, and we just try to judge through user feedback whether they like the feature, or don’t understand it, or things of that nature.'”
