We need a second, well-funded, fully-independent node implementation from Bitcoin Core.
We're committed to funding existing and new builders who can help extend and re-enforce Bitcoin's tools and ecosystem. What will the next decade of infrastructure building bring?

Bonus points if it come with open source code to run your own mining pool!
What would that achieve?
Decentralization from a single code base.
I think it would take a long time until people would trust the new code base over the old one.
It's ok. As long as we have a stable option, people can decide as we go.
I feel like this applies to specced protocols in general, but not sure about Bitcoin. The problem is that its consensus is always re-implemented from a reference client, and a bug free reimplementation is close to impossible imo.
