They are not arbiters of what is activated on Bitcoin. They are not gatekeepers of soft forks. If a BIP author proposes or agrees with a change to their BIP and those changes are formatted correctly, it is not the BIP editors' rights nor responsibilities to refuse to merge that change. As with Bitcoin Core maintainers, BIP editing is a largely janitorial role. So once a BIP number is allocated (or before) the BIP author can write whatever they like on that BIP? Including false and misleading statements? And the BIP editors have to merge it as long as it meets formatting requirements? A misleading statement like "This soft fork will definitely activate at block X as it has been merged into implementation Y. It hasn't been merged into Bitcoin Core yet but Bitcoin Core will merge the soft fork after the activation" This is a step change from before. If we aren't relying on *any* judgment then there might as well be 100 BIP editors. Because the editors aren't doing anything, each BIP author (or champion) has total license to write whatever they like on their BIP. > They are not arbiters of what is activated on Bitcoin. They are not gatek= eepers of soft forks. Of course not. The BIP editors do not decide what is activated on Bitcoin. But they are gatekeepers on ensuring BIPs are high quality and don't include false and misleading statements. Because false and misleading statements can impact the evolution of an activation process. I tried. Based on your perspective all we need is one malicious BIP author (or champion) and they'll make the entire BIP process a joke and the BIP editors won't be able to do anything.
