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". _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
