a lot of this is over my head, but this article seems to imply a few developers who have merge access might have gone rogue and made changes to #bitcoin core without discussion from the wider community.

If enough node operators pick up these changes without being aware, we might go quite a few blocks with some funky rule set, and require a hard fork to back track those blocks which would be pretty disastrous.
