BIPs are a courtesy in the first place. There's no central authority to
enforce some particular way of doing things.

If you think that the version restriction should be part of the BIP,
why not do a pull request? The BIP is still marked as "Draft".

Bottlenecking a proposal on someone who doesn't see it as a priority
doesn't seem smart?

Here's what I think makes sense:
