The wiki page is meant to be a place to leave comments recommending or discouraging adoption of a completed BIP, after discussion is over. For example, many people seem to think BIP 38 is a good idea simply because it is a Final BIP, whereas in general we would want to discourage using it since it cannot really be used safely.
