BIP isn't just "write a document"; that's just the first step. The main thing is that it gets peer review, changed to meet the community's needs, and when done should result in a common standard suitable to the needs of the whole community. Whatever the reason, there was a failure of key members of the community to participate in the GBT BIP process and ensure it addressed their needs/wants; identifying and addressing that is something that would improve the BIP process. get_transactions is a step in the right direction, and I don't think anyone expects Stratum to reach the same level as GBT overnight considering it took months for GBT (though I have no doubt now that the GBT discussions have taken place, that some dedicated individual could probably combine the two if they dedicated a few days to it). My comments, however, were not intended to bash stratum or mere complain about the past (it can't be changed), but an attempt to learn from the past and figure out how we can improve things the next time around.
