I agree with your assessment, the sides are political and picking sides=20
makes people a target.
=46or that reason I know that many companies are not picking sides, we=E2=
=80=99ve seen=20
some bad stuff happen to companies that did.
I=E2=80=99m not convnced it makes sense to use anonymous, but provable, ide=
ntities=20
is the way to solve this. Though.
I also don=E2=80=99t believe people are rejecting proposals purely based on=
the=20
name. What I see is that pratically all proposals are ignored for the time=
=20
being becaues we can=E2=80=99t make any changes anyway until we have made a=
protocol=20
upgrade and came out stronger.
I do agree that bips are seen politically, but not based on the person that=
=20
suggests them, but more based on the content being useful for their=20
political side.
I am not entirely against pseudonymous submissions, but in that case I thin=
k=20
it should be carried by a well known member of the Bitcoin community.
This raises the bar somewhat to a point where you have to convince someone=
=20
that is already publicly known to propose it with you.
