Hello,

I am making a minor proposed change to BIP-0002

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1012

I propose that we change the 3-year-rule to allow anyone to change the
status of a BIP to "Deferred", rather than "Rejected".

Rejecting a BIP already has ambiguous meaning in BIP-0002 as it
stands, with "hard" rejects:

> The BIP editor will not unreasonably reject a BIP. Reasons for rejecting BIPs 
> include duplication of effort, disregard for formatting rules, being too 
> unfocused or too broad, being technically unsound, not providing proper 
> motivation or addressing backwards compatibility, or not in keeping with the 
> Bitcoin philosophy.

and "soft" rejects:

> BIPs should be changed from Draft or Proposed status, to Rejected status, 
> upon request by any person, if they have not made progress in three years. 
> Such a BIP may be changed to Draft status if the champion provides revisions 
> that meaningfully address public criticism of the proposal, or to Proposed 
> status if it meets the criteria required as described in the previous 
> paragraph.

My proposal is that we disambiguate the second into "deferred" instead.

Alternatively, we add a new status e.g. "Inactive".
