Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] BIP Process and Votes
Precedence: list

Your discussion is taking up a lot of room in my inbox and it doesn't 
seem like either side is getting through to the other. Perhaps you could 
create a document outlining all the failure modes possible due to the 
current system, the current systems security assumptions and possible 
solutions. Now it seems this is just a semantic debate and would 
probably be better solved with you writing a BIP and having that 
reviewed and critiqued.
