I'm an outsider I'm not involved in any of these Bitcoin and PR discussions, but I think other node implementations should arise based on Core, for people to decide what to run and support. Being dependent on a small group of devs to decide what to commit doesn't seem good.
There is (at least?) one. @lukedashjr has been maintaining his own modded releases of Bitcoin Core for more than 10 years, with all the features and fixes he believes should have made it into Core.
It's called Bitcoin Knots.

Yes, I know. Core still needs more competition, and Core should probably be the most conservative implementation.

the libbitcoin kernel project should dramatically change the dynamics. without having to re-write a full-node implementation, you will be able to write consensus-valid validation bitcoin software for all kind of things.
