As I understand Github is not to be used for the high-level discussion of a draft BIP so I will post my thoughts here (is this specified somewhere? Can we specify this in BIP-0001?). - I have some concerns about the structure and the wording of this proposal. I think both the structure and the internal wording can be slimmed down and simplified - I also believe the "history lessons" should be trimmed out, mentioned at best - There's separate BIP for at least one of the code forks - BIP-001 specifies that BIP proposals should not be given a BIP number until after they have been spelled checked and approved by an editor. Greg Maxwell: was this followed? - What kind of proposal is this? Informational, Process or Standards track? - I believe it should be Standards Track. Include the proposed upgrade path as a patch into core as a module that hard forks can use in the future. This will also give us some space to work through some of the complexities of forks in a definite way. - Alternatively maybe we can split up this BIP into a Standards track and a separate Informational BIP?
