If it worked like that, WordPress would already be OOPed and MVCed isn't it?

i'm not sure i follow. are you suggesting that the wordpress development team discourages participation?

Nope, I don't follow up the WordPress development at all so I can't judge

However, I can't believe none of the WordPress developers has never suggested to rewrite it using nowadays technologies?
