As I understand Github is not to be used for the high-level discussion
of a draft BIP so I will post my thoughts here (is this specified
somewhere? Can we specify this in BIP-0001?).
- I have some concerns about the structure and the wording of this
proposal. I think both the structure and the internal wording can be
slimmed down and simplified
- I also believe the "history lessons" should be trimmed out,
mentioned at best
- There's separate BIP for at least one of the code forks
- BIP-001 specifies that BIP proposals should not be given a BIP
number until after they have been spelled checked and approved by an
editor. Greg Maxwell: was this followed?
- What kind of proposal is this? Informational, Process or Standards
track?
- I believe it should be Standards Track. Include the proposed
upgrade path as a patch into core as a module that hard forks
can use in the future. This will also give us some space to work
through some of the complexities of forks in a definite way.
- Alternatively maybe we can split up this BIP into a Standards
track and a separate Informational BIP?
