Short version here: 

With TWclassic we used "monkey patching", which creates a lot of problems 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch#Pitfalls>. A patch always makes 
assumptions about how the code, that needs to be patched looks like. ... If 
a different, poorly written plugin has completely invalidated those 
assumptions, that approach will fail. 

The biggest problem will be debugging and maintainability.
