This is awesome to hear. We need to hear from people who have comments
or issues they encounter while implementing, but also cases where
things are fine as is.

I understand you find the suggestions being brought up in this thread
to be bikeshedding over details, and I certainly agree that "changing
X will gratuitously cause us more work" is a good reason not to make
breaking changes to minutiae. However, at least abstractly speaking,
it would be highly unfortunate if the fact that someone implemented a
draft specification results in a vested interest against changes which
may materially improve the standard.
In practice, the process surrounding BIPs' production readiness is not
nearly as clear as it could be, and there are plenty of BIPs actually
deployed in production which are still marked as draft. So in reality,
truth is that this thread is "late", and also why I started the
discussion by asking what the state of implementations was. As a
result, the discussion should be "which changes are worth the hassle",
and not "what other ideas can we throw in" - and some of the things
brought up are certainly the latter.
So to get back to the question what changes are worth the hassle - I
believe the per-input derivation paths suggested by matejcik may be
one. As is written right now, I believe BIP174 requires Signers to
pretty much always parse or template match the scripts involved. This
means it is relatively hard to implement a Signer which is compatible
with many types of scripts - including ones that haven't been
considered yet. However, if derivation paths are per-input, a signer
can just produce partial signatures for all keys it has the master
for. As long as the Finalizer understands the script type, this would
mean that Signers will work with any script. My guess is that this
would be especially relevant to devices where the Signer
implementation is hard to change, like when it is implemented in a
hardware signer directly.
What do you think?
Cheers,
